The Infamous Day 2

Posted by jorats on Sunday Jun 27, 2010 Under Behavior, Daily with Rats

As I suspected, day 2 was worse. Why? because this is a time when they start to recognize each other and no longer tolerate their behaviours or simply their presence. Rory was having a heck of a time, same as Max. Max was not approachable and I think the new guys knew this. Poor Meeko, still quite young and unaware of the proper rat etiquette didn’t know Max was not in a mood for a chat. Meeko stayed one second too long next to him before Max went after him. Luckily, Meeko is a mexican jumping bean and he avoided any gashes, all the while screaming like a banshee, so much for keeping a calm energy, I think I was frazzled from the start. Meanwhile Rory was heading the Spanish Inquisition with his two top girls behind him. He was on a mission to seek and flip. Poor Gera stayed out of his way at all cost. This all started within the first 5 minutes of the out time. I didn’t know how I was going to last the full hour like this. Little Doc was in scenting frenzy. If it has atoms, he rubbed it. He and Bianca certainly made quite the pair. She hot on his heels begging him to mount her. I kept reminding her that she was spayed but she paid no mind to me. Finally it was too much for Rory. He retreated and went for a very small nap. After his nap, he was happy as pie, running all over the place and checking things out. I was amazed at his transformation. Even though Doc entered his kingdom, he didn’t let in to him, he simply followed him around. Finally an hour came around. I was fed up with Doc and told him that I’m going to chew off his gonads with my teeth if he kept up his childish bullying. Yes, of course I was kidding but he doesn’t have to know that. Friday can’t come fast enough. That’s also when Chief gets done and his intro into this dysfunctional family will start. I can’t wait…NOT.
I’m so hoping tomorrow will be better. Yes, I did the full hour. I don’t know how I survived it.

Rory and Doc…May I be of assistance?

Doc and Bianca… Rory the voyeur.

A pooped out Rory.
