I have 2 14 weeks old female rats. Mable is a lunatic who just wants to be out of the cage running and jumping around. Its wonderful to see. Martha is so different. She just wants to be left alone in the cage. Is this normal. I am trying to leave her ro see of she settles in.
Timidness is normal for rats who are in a new home. Each rat takes their own time to become accustomed to their new surroundings and humans. You may need to be a bit patient and understanding but eventually your rat will be excited to hear your footsteps.
