I hate rats. But I like these. Where did you get them from?

you see just how dominant she is? she pushes him away, turns her back and fills the door space up to stop him getting out! then once he did get the food he ran back off to the nest box to hide it Laughing


Something else I saw this week, I put a whole newspaper in the cage, wedged it in the bars. They shredded the whole thing, put it in their nest box but first emptied the nest box completely (even making sure all old nest materials were pushed outside the cage, onto the floor!!!).

Interesting animals to watch Scott. Do they eat a lot of fruit then? What is their diet, pretty broad range? Are they sexually mature yet?

They don't look like giants until the end of the video when someone locks the cage and you can compare them to some thing else.

also I like the faint strains of R&B coming through in the background, very appropriate!
