@vengeance: the most I've had at one time was 12, usually I have around 8 or 9.

@Lina: I just posted a thread with pictures of the 2 new boys. They're black hooded, I have a brown hooded boy, and a double rex grey boy (he has Dumbo ears, the rest are top ear), which means he has random little bald spots haha.
Both my girls are dark brown hooded.

@Lina: yeah, I now have 4 boys and 2 girls. I love how chunky boys get.

@Lina: Yeah, boys tend to be more cuddly than girls. My girls are always GO GO GO. The boys will let you hold them longer and tend to be less energetic.

I train them to know their names, follow my finger (it's fun to play with them like this, you can move it in circles and they chase it haha), and they know to come when they hear the treat bag. We have a designated rat play area. They get to play out of cage there. We have a dog so it has to be blocked off. I hangout with them in there, they like to climb me and come gives kisses and chase my finger.

@Lina: They have a huge cage but I love giving them playtime. I wish the area was bigger but it's something at least. I have a small cage for the area, they use it for water and if they have to go to the bathroom.

@Lina: yeah rats are very clean animals. I didn't ever have to teach any of mine not to poo or anything in the play area, they just automatically realized that's not where you go.

@Lina: hahaha, I tried teaching my dog some normal tricks and he's just like I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME. But he was able to learn the service dog tasks he needed to know. So I don't know how his brain works.

@Lina: My dog knows how to deal with my dissociation, reminding me to take my meds, and all that good stuff but he doesn't know how to lay down.

@Lina: I'm home all day. I don't go anywhere haha.
