They love to play, explore, eat goodies, give lots of kisses, and snuggle. They are very active, but also love to cuddle in a pouch or blanket. They will absolutely charm their way into your heart!<\/p>\n<p><em>Coop<\/em> (short for Cupid): This little love will climb his way right into your heart. He is very active, playful, and snuggly\u2014he loves to be the center of attention and you\u2019ll often find him \u201cshowing off\u201d by climbing up the side of the cage or running between the levels. He loves to play with his brothers, and is usually the one to start a game of wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>He is just as good out of the cage as he is in the cage\u2014he will stay close to you and will always run back to you when he\u2019s done exploring. \u00a0He\u2019s very curious and excited, but not nervous. \u00a0He loves giving kisses!<\/p>\n<p>Coop is a little piglet and in every free moment is snacking on something\u2014usually a piece of pasta or some fruit. He loves to stock up on his favorite goodies and bring them to his brothers in either the hammock or the igloo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wyatt:<\/em> This sweet boy is on the quieter side, but loves to snuggle. He loves to be as close to you as possible, so expect to find him on the highest possible perch or hammock. He loves to snuggle under blankets\/bedding! He will always come and say \u201chello\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Though still playful, he is definitely on the more reserved side but won\u2019t hesitate if you take him out to play. He loves the pouches and is an absolute \u201clap rat\u201d. \u00a0He also bruxes both in the cage and when he\u2019s snuggling.<\/p>\n<p>Wyatt loves to nibble on things\u2014treats, food, and bedding\u2014so a surplus of yummy, crunchy items is a must for him. He is very well behaved and will thank you for treats with kisses!<\/p>\n<p><em>Dex<\/em> loves to hide, but once you get him out of the cage he turns into the biggest snuggle bug. He can be very curious, and isn\u2019t afraid to greet you if he\u2019s in a hammock, and gives lots of kisses. He loves to have his ears scratched and does not mind being out of the cage. He likes to be held very close, but will explore if you let him.<\/p>\n<p>Though he is most often found under a pile of bedding in an igloo, he will come out and say \u201chi\u201d and climb up the side of the cage every now and then. He loves to wrestle with his brothers, too.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gideon<\/em> is the most bashful of the Charmed boys, and loves to cuddle in his cage with his brothers. When he\u2019s out, he can be a little excited at first, but once he\u2019s settled he\u2019ll want to either be on your shoulder or in a pouch\u2014he likes to feel protected.<\/p>\n<p>He is the snuggliest rat\u2014he will fall asleep in the pouch or on your lap if you have him out long enough. He isn\u2019t often found playing, but every now and then he\u2019ll wrestle with his brothers. Most often, you\u2019ll find him snuggling under a pile of bedding right next to his brothers.<\/p>\n<p>**Note\u2014they do break off in pairs naturally. Coop and Wyatt are always together, and Dex and Gideon are always together.
