I built Ashley a proper home out of a big bird cage last night; complete with two levels, a log house, tunnel, ladder, a little edible house thats peanut flavoured and a fuzzy hammock.
More importantly I brought her home a friend. An a very young albino female...I think I'm going to name her Spaz (cause she is HYPER!!!). It was fun watching the two of them play, racing around and up and down and wrestling and later snuggle up together in the hammock.
I took them out one at a time for some bonding after they socialized together for a few hours.
Ashley seems much happier and actually runs around the cage playing rather than hiding all day and night in her nest like she was.
I took the advice of (sorry forgot your name) the poster in my other thread and switched to a different bedding. It feels sorta like a cross between cotton and fabric, it says its safe for rats so I hope it's the right stuff. They really seemed to like it judging buy the rooting and digging to the extent they were actually flinging it out of their cage. Haha.
