Excellent.
Temperament: Jack
is a curious boy who loves to romp around and attack socks. He
is extremely intelligent and needs supervision when playing during
free range time. He can get anywhere he wants, no matter what
kind of preventative measures are in place. He doesn't care
much for snuggling, unless someone is rubbing him behind the
ears--his favorite place. He enjoys giving kisses and grooming
fingernails of those he loves and trusts.
His Story: Jack
Bandit was a rat that I didn't expect to have. He came to me
in November of 2004 as a rescue from a pet store. It was love
at first sight. The plan was to have him live with Ytterboe
and Kittlesby, the older male rats I had, but for whatever reason
Kittlesby wouldn't accept him into the colony and he was left
alone. I started looking for a cagemate for him and located
Kain in early February.
The friendship between
Jack and Kain was an iffy one. Almost as if he had learned
from Kittlesby, Jack was slightly pushy with shy baby Kain.
While not overly aggressive, I had doubts that they would ever be
able to live together. Slowly, however, Jack's dominant nature
ebbed and Kain started to open up to having a friend.
Jack is a highly
adventurous boy who loves to get to places he knows he doesn't
belong. His current favorite sleeping spot is under the bed,
but his favorite hangout spot is on top of the TV (which is hard to
get to). He loves attention and will make noise so that I will
come and see him.
He is the top rat of his
cage and loves to remind Kain, Oz, Nitro, and Kasi about it when they forget.
