Baby Ratties - Behaviour

[Ollie]

So I have had the babies out almost all day for the second half of the day. From about 1:30-til well now.
I have noticed a few things. My white/grey one doesn't want to be roaming around, insists on being in my shirt or on me.

The beige one tries to take food away from the black one. He won't take one from my hand but gladly try to steal the others. He also insists he has to climb all over him LOL. (3 weeker)

Black one well, he is quite gentle when he takes a treat. Very slow not a snatcher. He is in the corner thou just watching me.

It's going to be fun figuring out personalities.

If they are that young, supplimenting twice a day or more with baby cereal mixed with soy infant formula is a good idea

Sounds like a bundle of different personalities you've got there. What SQ said about the baby formula & infant soy stuff is a good idea, and in addition to being yummy and nutritious, it is also a food that a) they won't be able to steal from one another, and b) since they can't exactly run off with it, they'll get more comfortable around you while eating it. I hope your taking lots and lots of pics :wink:

I have been doing that They get a lid with the soy/cereal spread on it in the am and evening.

Is that ok?

I was giving them cheerios.

You are doing great. They sound like a bundle of fun.

 

[Ollie]

Thank you J. I do try my best. I am by no means an expert. Thanks for your support.

You'll have them climbing all over you soon. Can't wait for pics. I love babies.

They were in my fleece sweater this am for about 4 hours. LOL. The grey (blue lol not sure what kind of blue)/white one was sleeping on his side curled on my chest, the black one was in my sleeve near my arm pit laying on his BACK! And the tiny one was all curled up to my shoulder.

I am really enjoying them a lot.
