It must be mating season.

the title doesn't really make sense since rats are in season all the time it seems.
but! I for some reason thought that rats didn't act all crazy when they are.
I've seen my female dog try to hump the male dog and I've seen my cat hump his brother but I never thought rodents would engage in similar behavior. I suppose it only makes sense that they would do so too.
with that being said I witnessed Garbo trying to mate with Nixon last night :s
yes it's normal but it's just weird cause Nixon never does that. she'll try to grab Garbo by the waist but never humps her. well....Garbo did. she's bigger than Nixon too so it was kinda funny.

other than Garbo's "sexual awakening" the rats have been well and very social.
ratties are even starting to climb onto Robert's lap which they didn't really do before. now days all I have to do sometimes is to reach out with my hand and a rat will climb on board. sometimes they will reach out to me so that I'll put my hand down for them so they can jump on.

since I have a long weekend and no homework to worry about I intend to spend it by hanging out with the ratties since I've had a busy and stressful week with rather short rattie playtimes :/
