I just got rats for the first time and they've been great so far! They haven't bitten me or my boyfriend, and seem to have no problems being held. I've only had them for about a week or 2, but I decided I want to try to litter box train them before too long. (I thought it would be easier for them to pick it up now before they're full grown) I have an old towel that I'm using for their cage, while I have a mix of bedding/rodent litter in the litter box. They seem to be picking up the idea of potty training, but they never want to come out of the cage anymore.
They're still perfectly sweet, but it seems like they run back to their cage and huddle in the towel whenever I take them out. I don't understand because they don't seem scared or unhappy, but they don't jump up for me to take them out anymore. It seems like all they want to do is sleep in their towel.
It's only been a few days since I switched them from bedding to a towel, so could it just be that they still need some time to warm up to their new cage set-up?
