I've had a new rat for, about.. four months, and she refuses to eat out of her cage. She doesn't enjoy socializing, and this is not for lack of trying. She hates being held, doesn't really enjoy people, and she only likes to sit on my neck when shes out. Monroe is nearly 7 months, and I have her out everyday, for atleat an hour or two. When I try to take her and Belle [my other rat] out, she runs to hide. She doesn't even like to sit in my hands or anything. She'll freak out, and scamper up to sit on my shoulder. If given the chance, she'd rather get off, and run around and hide, running away when I try to catch her.
How can I attempt to get her more socialized? I realize this might be her personality.. but yeah.
Oh, and I should mention that for the first two or three months of her life, she was never handled, as she was supposed to be fed to a snake.
