I have 2 female rats and I’ve had them since this summer. They are great. They’re very friendly and sociable. The problem is, when I get them out of the cage, they still seem a little timid. When I take them out, I put them in my room and usually do homework. If they get close, something as simple as the flip of a page will make them bolt. I take them out almost every day. I’m not worried about it, I just want to be able to play with them more outside of the cage. Thanks.

Monday, June 11th, 2012Squeeking Guinea Pig
Thursday, June 7th, 2012Hey everyone, I just got two guinea pigs (one for my brother and one for myself) and my brothers always squeaks when you put her down or just when she is in her cage. I do understand guinea pigs squeak but she tends to do it a lot. For example, I put her in the cage and she was squeaking a lot. Why?
Help: Hamster problem
Thursday, January 12th, 2012I have a hamster. Can an expert or even not but has knowledge about Syrian hamsters help me.
1.) If you put two hamsters-‘Syrian’ already in a cage and gets use to it, will they not fight and kill each other because they are known to kill one another and to be alone in one cage
2.) How to take good care of it. Can you give some tips?
3.) Why do they not drink if I put water in a small bowl? Does it need to be warm? I think my water is a little bit cold.
Help me please. I’m a newbie to pet these animals. Thanks!
