Games!
Who doesn't love to play a little game with their rat? But the question is, what can you play? Well, here are some idea's:
Fort- Fort is an easy game to play. How we play, is I put the rats on my bed, and pull out some pillows. I make the pillows into a little fortress, and the rats dive into it! The just love poking their heads out, and chasing each other about.Its fun, interesting, and easy!
Ferret Ball Time- It isn't so much a game, as an activity. I bought two Ferret balls at the store, and let the girls run about the house. the mess stays in the ball, and they get exhuasted before bed. Perfect! Just make sure no one kicks the ball, or your rat could be injured.
Tackle- Not all rats will play tackle with you, but if they do, its a ball. Basicly the rat will attack your hand if you tickle the back of its tail. act like your going to pul its tail, and just keep pretending like you wanna pick them up by it, and they will claw and play bite back. just dont really pick them up, their tails can come off.
Tug-o-War- Tug-o-war is a game i made up for the rats. I tye some thread to a cheerio and let the rat pull on the cheerio, while i play with the string. I wait till the cheerio breaks, and let them have it! just dont let them have the string...
Killer napkin- When the rats are in their cage, i wave a paper napkin around them. Usually Sable will fight it, and when she latches on, she shreds it to peices and makes it her bed, its great to watch.
