UPDATE 7\/29\/21:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The girls are really settling in. Both are starting to come out of their shells and are allowing for more handling.<\/p>\n

Prior to coming into foster care, Pepperoni had bit a cage mate and also her mom. I was told she has some food aggression. I think that living just with Peanut, as opposed to a group of 6, has calmed her down a bit. I also change up the layout of the cage significantly every week to reduce any possessiveness. She still runs from me when I attempt to catch her up, but yesterday I was able to scoop her up without cornering her for the first time. Great progress! She was also the first of the two to venture onto my shoulder!<\/p>\n

Peanut also runs from hands, but is the more confident rat. She will climb all over my lap if I sit still and is also the first to explore something new. I tap my fingers on the ground to play and I can tell she wants to, but she isn’t quite confident enough yet. She does run from me when I pick her up, but I move slow. She will tell you if she does not want to be picked up. I only pick her up if she does not turn her face up at me. One day I pushed this and she held my finger in her mouth for a few seconds with slight pressure. I held still and she let go. I gave her a minute and when I returned, I was able to pick her up.<\/p>\n

These girls are so cute and petite. I love seeing them play and gain confidence and trust. They are fun to watch! With a little bit of time, love, and patience, they will be a lot of fun to interact with too.”<\/p>\n
