Hi everyone,
new to this forum and very happy to be here. I will be posting in Rat Behavior once I get permission. For now, here is our challenge: Our new rattie Annie came to us from a shelter in Boston. She can be very sweet and gentle, but she nips or bites at anything put through the cage bars. She also nips or bites at my hand when I offer treats. Naturally, we no longer offer anything through the cage bars. Any suggestions on how we can teach her how to give rattie kisses and to take treats gently?
Thanks!
