First Steps

Day three and the ratties are getting more and more active...
After two 1 hour sessions with the rats, giving them my full attention today, the bonding has begun!


Although still shy, Diamond is now eating out of my hand and is not so panicky when being stroked :) YAY! She is even becoming better at climbing...something which she has been showing signs of struggling with.


And Java has been out and about with her first proper play session that has left her beggin for more. After a few timid excursions and frantic flurrying back to the cage she soon realised it wasn't going anywhere and that she would be able to have lots more fun with even MORE toys outside!!


By 7pm they were both complete knackered although they kept trying to get more. I told them it was time for bed...though doubtless they will continue to party through the night!

Introductions

Hooray - I now have two beautiful does from Pets At Home.


Java - a perky, inquisative little girl who within seconds of being introduced ran and climbed everywhere in her new home!


Diamond - a beautiful albino who is rather shy but loves a cuddle when she gets over her fear!


This is their cage:



I have decided that this will be their birthday seeming that I'm not sure how old they are or when they were born!


Welcome girlies!
