Pet Rats
2 Answers
I got rats recently but have hardly been able to hold them as everytime i go to they seem really scared and try to bite me. I dont know if they actually are going to bite me or are just trying to get to know me but it makes me less confident with them, iv taken them out to clean them but have only held one properly. I'm not sure what to do to bond with them, i'd appreciate some advice if possible?
