Well I had to tell you this little story.
Yesterday I setup a second cage to accomodate a new 1.3 Rat colony. The juvi's were from a litter of my existing colony. These cages are the ones you would normally use for a Rabbit or Ferret. As the adults have readiliy accepted this cage. I figured it was a good choice. The cages sit side by side on the floor in our kitchen. So I transfered the juvi's over to the new cage. Well being an early riser, I went into the kitchen this morning to get a coffee and discovered than one of them was BACK IN the cage that I house the original colony. I thought to myself, Oh S&^%, time to go hunting. But sure enough, ALL 4 of the juvi's had escaped and returned to the cage that houses mom and dad...all curled up with Dad...funny. Never had this problem before, but I guess Mom and Dad see the kids on the run and then :grab:
. Guess I will leave them in the original cage for now
