Are they friendly, and or cuddly?
I do not let them out on the floor, because they are goofballs and get scared down there. So, usually I throw a couple towels over my bed and let them run around there. They enjoy that. They do not, come when called, as much as come to the door of the cage when I go sit by it, or if they hear me talk. Also, if they know I have food for them.
Their food is simply dry pellets..I buy from Oxbow, as it is decent quality. As for people food, they like oatmeal, mashed potatoes and popcorn. In that picture, that is Yogurt. Sometimes peas and corn.
I try to limit the people food so they eat their rat food.
I have been told people give them bones to chew on, like you would a dog. It helps keep their teeth ground down. I have never done it.
