alright so i just got my rats yesterday, Molly Mayhem and Zombina (to see em go to the hello forum and see my post) and i had a few questions
1 how long does it take them to socialize with a new owner, like t get them to come over when i call for them and all that
2 what are some good training ideas for my ratties and how can i go around and teach them
3 what hours of the day are they most active
4 my cage has wire and has two high platforms and the wire spacing is about 1/2 inch apart, will this damage their feet at all or should i cover the platforms and ramps in an old tee-shirt. i've noticed that only Zombina goes on the platforms while molly stays to her corner waiting for Zombina to come back.
5 Should i be worried that they aren't eating much right now, i have only had them for less then a day i bought them last night and their food bowl looks hardly touched. is this just from the stress of being in a new environment and stress form the car ride still?
6 (the last one) what type of toys do your rats enjoy in their cages cause right now all i have is a wheel that came with the cage (its really funny they will climb on top of the wheel and try to run on it) a chube, and a cat ball that my girlfriend gave me (yes its clean she pulled it out of the package and i washed it incase it had her cats smell on it)
thanks for reading and i hope to get some replies soon
