Thank you. I actually haven't been interacting with my rat. Not out of a lack of caring. I guess out of ignorance. With snakes they need time to adjust and not feel stressed out. My female rat seems extremely scared and shy. So I've wanted to give her time to adjust to her new surroundings. Should I start handling her instead? If the information helps she's only been here for two nights and still will not take treats from my hand.
