Well my rat had a litter of 12 (one died) and on the first day I was able to pick them up no problem. I had to remake the nest because she had some of the babies in food dishes and all over the place.
Anyways, i've been handling them from day one no problem, I also handle the mum on a daily basis with no problems. Well, a few days ago, this is two weeks after she had her litter, my mum went to pick up one of the babies, and she dived on her and bite her finger down to the bone. My mum tried a second time just yesterday and she bit her again, just not as hard.
I don't understand, is my mum doing something wrong? Do rats have trust issues with some people and are completely okay with others?
