Re: My boys!!

Their names are :-
Black:- Smokey
Champagne sat next to him:- Dilan (Daddy of all 3 boys)
Champagne in front of Dilan:- Bob
And finally the grey :- Harry

Re: My boys!!

they are all lovely!

I love rats and would love to re-home some from the local RSPCA but am afriad my partner hates their tails and won't let me have them in the house (I thought it was girls who were supposed to be scared of them lol!)

Well my 4 four someone I know bred them so they have been handled from a very young age, with all of my pet shop bought ones I just spent hours sitting by their cage with the door open and a treat in my hand and waited for them to make the move on to my hand, and after a while they were fine. Not sure if this will work for you but that is how I did it.... TBH this is one reason that I got them from a breeder, cos it was soo frustrating having what was supposed to be a social creature trying to be as far away from me as possible....

they were from a breeder and were supposed to be hand tame when I got them but they aren't, I have sat there with them and the one who does nip will take treat from me but thats it, I can pick the other one up but he is scared and once weed all over me bless him, I suppose it will just take time and perseverance on my behalf, just hope they come around as I love rats and love to be hands on with them
