I've just rescued two female rats and i'm working on socializing them (with me, not with other rats)
I started with Cheereos just to get them used to my presence by the cage. These have worked well with Sniffles but Princess still has a snatch and run tendency.
I read somewhere about using baby food on the back of a spoon so that they can't run away from the goodies. I've tried this a bit with good results, but here's the cetch.
I've noticed after one day a little bit of runny, diarrhea like dropping in the bottom of the cage. The only thing i could logically attribute this to is the baby food.
Here's the question (you were wondering, i know you were =-)
Is there something akin to baby food that i could use to the same effect ad ifinitum? I thought of peanut butter, but i've read that excessive protein is not healthy, any other ideas out there?
