The rats are home!

I let the rats run around a little last night which might have been a bad idea since they just got home.
I believe I waited a couple of days after my trip to europe before I let them out.

Nixon did know where she was because she kept running to her usual hiding places and sat in my lap and took treats from me.
Garbo was a little more freaked out and hid in the box spring of the bed for over an hour :/ Robert and I had to scare her out of there since nothing else worked :/
Nixon joined her after running around for half an hour.
both rats knew they had been bad because like dogs they show it by putting their heads down and ears back.


the new food has been a success! when I first let them try it Nixon wouldn't stop eating it. I left some in their food dish and this morning it was all gone :)
so I think I'm gonna leave some pellets in the cup in the morning (turns out their bag of pellets had a lot more in it than I thought) and some tropical rat mix in the evening to give them some variety.

the ratties are napping in their favorite nap spot: the cup and they let me pet them and Nixon bruxed a little so we're all good :)
