Do you think they know?
Rat keepers say they are very intelligent animals. Tonight I fed off one of my rat fuzzies, and now the mother is sitting here looking at me very reproachfully. She wasn't in the cage when I removed the fuzzy, but as soon as I put her back, she blocked up the entrance to the nest and is now just sitting in the corner looking very dejected. I don't feel bad about feeding - that is what I got them for, after all - but I also don't like causing distress. Do you think I'm just imagining this, or have others who have been doing this for awhile found that their mother rats get very stressed out by it? If I'm not imagining it, will she be over it by the morning do you think?
