Then we went to get him a new cage and we (again, I) decided to get Ralphy a little friend because they do better in pairs. We got a little 6 week old that we named Georgy. They are so sweet. You put your hand in the cage and the just lick the heck out of your fingers like a little puppy. We let them run around the front room as long as Caleb watches them closely. Georgy is taking a little longer to get used to it here and he gets a little nervous. He doesn't like to come far out of the cage. He'll walk out and then put his little front feet on the carpet and turn around and run back in.
Ralphy won't go on the hard wood floor. It is so funny. He'll walk his front feet onto the wood floor as far as he can while keeping his back feet on the carpet, then change his mind and back up back onto the carpet. They have minds of their own, that's for sure!
They are very sweet and nice and if any of you want a good pet for your kids that don't require a lot of upkeep... consider a rat or two!

My parents got a rat for my brother. My mom had the same issues as you had at first, but that rat became such the family favorite pet. They played with it everyday, and loved that little thing to death. How fun for you guys!
i am actually considering one or two for ME! haha. No seriously...
