I feel a need to vent... we've got the romeos in the cage, they are young bucks who think are all that, ok... so they are all that but geez they drive me crazy. They've been named Jorge, Rylee and Davis. Jorge is the boss and lets every rat know it. Rylee is the adventurous one and Davis is the Casanova.
I always know when it's close to out time for us because those boys start to whip around the cage. They get so excited, making so much noise it wakes me up, even when I'm sleeping in my invisible spot under the covers on the top shelf. No one can find me there. heehee.
The door opens and those three fly out the cage. They are simply all over, me and Boo, we are cautious, take our time, I know there are other bigger animals in this place but not them, they just don't care? What's worse, they get the three girls super excited too, they get all pouncy and bouncy and fast. Only Captain stays behind, he's too cautious if you ask me.
I like to hang back, stay under cover until I know for sure everything is clear. When the mom is done cleaning the cage, she always sits down with us. This drives Jorge nuts, he's always all over her, running, jumping, climbing, wrestling... I try to stay clear of her... I've seen what she does to poor Boo, she calls it belly kisses, I call it torture.
I wonder if I'll get as lively as the three romeos?
Maybe I'll go see if Ma's got some food?
