I'm a two rat household again, just for one night. One of the other foster people dropped off Scaliwag this evening. He's the white boy in the picture. I'm taking him and Speedy to the vet to be neutered tomorrow.
Scaliwag has been returned twice by people who adopted him. From what I know, they were just not into the reality of having a pet rat and were dissatisfied with him. Poor boy is unsettled from so much change.
Apparently there's someone interested in adopting Speedy, after he's recovered from being neutered. They've got a female rat, so Speedy won't be alone anymore.
I've been very careful with Speedy after he bit me. He's very nervous. He's keen to crawl into my hoodie but he doesn't want me to pick him up at all. I'm keeping his routine steady with lots of calm interaction
Every day he's a bit braver. Yesterday he spent some time sitting on my shoulder and in my sleeve.
He was very interested in inspecting the bandage on my bite wound!
