Hi!! I recently got two rats from a snake feeder breeder who bred these herself, properly. I have them as pets, trying to give them a good life! They’re both about 6 weeks old if not 7. I have had them for a week and got them mite ointment, sneezing ointment, and URI antibiotics. Pumbaa is brown hooded and is bonding with me quickly! I’m of course giving them all the time they need and plenty of treats. As for Timon, beige hooded, he is shy and slow to trust. Occasionally he will popcorn and run around the cage to play with me. But he’s had a few hissing episodes. He has never bitten, he actually will lick my hands and fingers wanting peanut butter. What is the reason for the hissing? For example today, they were play fighting with eachother and it was really cute and I stuck my finger in the cage near him and he hissed.
