They&#8217;re less curious about the world than some of their siblings, and would generally prefer to sit in a lap or on a shoulder until they&#8217;re ready to explore. Hands in the cage are likely to receive\u00a0kisses and gentle grooming, and treats are taken without hesitation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 11\/5\/18:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both boys are doing really well, and are still super sweet and curious during playtime. Taco is one of the most relaxed rats I&#8217;ve ever seen; if I catch him in the right mood I can hold him under the arms and he&#8217;ll sit and dangle there comfortably for a while. Tamale is curious about hair, every time he sits on my shoulder I end up with him pawing at my hair and trying to clean it, sometimes even climbing on top of my head. These boys have the biggest appetite of any rats I&#8217;ve ever had, and they&#8217;re really good about eating their veggies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 11\/27\/18<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Both are doing well! I&#8217;ve introduced them to bobbing for veggies and they&#8217;re taking to it like little otters! I&#8217;ve even seen them dunk their snouts under a few times. I think with a little more practice they&#8217;ll be natural swimmers! They&#8217;re both perfectly happy to sit on my lap with a treat while I trim their nails for them, and are overall very well mannered little gentlemen (even if they can be little crybabies sometimes.)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tamale<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Dani%20D%20-%20Townshend%20VT\/Tamale%20and%20Taco\/tamale_zpsbdn4bdp5.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Dani%20D%20-%20Townshend%20VT\/Tamale%20and%20Taco\/tamale_zpsyugyncgt.jpg\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Taco<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Dani%20D%20-%20Townshend%20VT\/Tamale%20and%20Taco\/taco_zpsqd2fxsov.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Dani%20D%20-%20Townshend%20VT\/Tamale%20and%20Taco\/taco_zpshn9wcszi.jpg\" width=\"338\" height=\"451\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These boys came to us on 10\/23\/18 because they were part of an oops litter.
