Hi all, I don't know anybody else who has rats so I don't really know how they behave normally.
I find that my rats sleep quite often. They wake up occasionally throughout the day and night but they sleep an awful lot.
Even when I take them out to play at night, they'll start sleeping (or trying to) after about half an hour.
Is this normal? Should I be worried?
I've only had them for a week. They were far more active a few days ago but I'm not sure if this is how they are normally and they were just getting used to their new environment before.
