The Rat Room

With the dreaded day 2 behind us, it’s nothing but good energy now. It was a delightful day 3. I did do something different this time around. I decided to give Gera, Meeko, Little Doc and Chief 20 minutes of out time with just the four of them. I want to get them bonded and happy. Eventually, I’d like to get those four living together before they move in with the Rory gang if ever.
It went very well, in fact it set them up for that perfect energy for Max and Rory. Once all 10 were together, they were quite happy. Chief explored everywhere which is a first. He’d often stop to do that happy head shake. Gera didn’t take charge but he really didn’t need to. Max never puffed up and didn’t pay much attention to the young ones. Rory did a couple of times but nothing serious. It was more of a: “you are annoying me, stop it.” The three younger girls had quite the fun with Meeko and Little Doc. They chased each other around, played tag and leap frog. After an hour with the Rory gang, everyone went home and had some broccoli. Currently, I’m keeping an eye on the Gera cage. I’ve decided to enclose Chief and Doc in with them. At first Gera was not too happy. Oh he didn’t puff up or anything. When Gera is not happy, he flattens out and squints. He seems much better now, eating his broccoli. So far so good. Keeping fingers crossed and certainly not putting away the other cages yet.

Filing down those teeth: Gera
