Special need: These girls are all senior rats!<\/em><\/p>\n UPDATE 2\/27\/17:<\/strong><\/p>\n “These girls are becoming more comfortable with interactions every day. Never underestimate the power of banana chips, their favorite! Each girl will now take treats from my hand and resist running off when I move suddenly. Lila<\/em>, the most brave of the bunch, comes\u00a0running\u00a0to get her treat as\u00a0soon as I open the\u00a0door. Mom Kamaji<\/span> <\/em>and daughter\u00a0Lola<\/em> will then follow. Lula\u00a0<\/em>is the most skittish of the\u00a0bunch and will sometimes not leave her cozy hammock for treats.<\/p>\n I am\u00a0confident they will tolerate handling with more patience and love, however they may never appreciate a good cuddle haha!\u00a0But what they lack in snuggle skills, they make up for in silly, adorable antics! They steal\u00a0food from each other, bolt around the cage, and greet me through the bars. They make me laugh all the time! If you are an experienced rat person looking for a fun challenge, these are your girls!<\/p>\n If\u00a0one\u00a0is wondering how I tell the daughters apart,\u00a0Lila<\/em> is the bravest and has the darkest snout of the three and\u00a0Lola<\/em> has the lightest.”<\/p>\n UPDATE 4\/28\/17:<\/strong><\/p>\n “The girls are doing well. With some food incentive I can pet them with my whole hand. They are much more confident and recover quickly from being startled. When I clean their cage they normally hide in their hammocks, but yesterday they were climbing all over the place, one even climbed out of the cage!”<\/p>\n UPDATE 9\/23\/17 on Lila and Lola:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Lila<\/em> is filled with curiosity and is super adventurous. She will check out every corner of the room and is obsessed with her yogurt drops. She is trusting to try new things from my hand and has the prettiest little gray nose.<\/p>\n Lola<\/em> is a quiet girl that loves shredding and building forts. She is always excited to try new fruits and veggies and will explore the outside of her cage when she feels safe. Lola will be a very sweet companion once you gain her trust. It’s hard to see in her pictures but she has an adorable, very subtle smudge of Siamese color on her nose.”<\/p>\n UPDATE 10\/4\/17 on Kamaji and Lula:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Kamaji and Lula are doing well! The past few weeks Kamaji has been itching to get out of the cage, and will climb on me briefly before running back to her cage. The girls are more comfortable with me and I am more confident I can catch them up. They are pretty good at getting into the crate, so I use that to transfer them to the play room. Carrying them around is still not an option, as they will do anything in their power to get to the floor if they feel restrained in any way. I am confident free-range time helps with this because they have the choice of whether or not they want to engage with me, which gives them confidence. They often approach me for a quick sniff when out for play time. Surprisingly Lula seems to lead the charge when they first get out!”<\/p>\n Kamaji<\/strong> Lila<\/strong> Lola<\/strong> Intact Females<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":15435,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/716b4a63-0cf0-4e2d-ad4d-b4b2e9d0260b_zps8wemtyjd.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lena Maurer","author_link":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/author\/lena\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14520"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15839,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14520\/revisions\/15839"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
