I'm told most girls won't get their faces wet to get the peas, but most boys LOVE IT!

My rats haven't shown much interest, but here's a picture I found on the 'net...

omg I tryed that with Pippin and Merry Pippin did'nt do it, but Merry was so good he got out all the peas and ate them ALL he had the worst diareah(sp?), I havent done bobbing for peas since .

I tried to do fishing for peas, but they won't go near the water lol. I'm doing some exersises with them though, hoping that they'll get accustomed to water. They go swimming every day now! I should try the peas again.

like 15-20 in a bowl of water and Merry ate them all. I will never do it again. I didnt think Merry would be so freeking good at it. I thought he would have trouble so I put alot in the bowl so he could at least get one.

My ratties had a constant supply of lab blocks. They also got cooked/uncooked pasta, blueberries, cherries, bananas, nutro dog kibble, bits of Kai's healthier dog treats, dentabone, home-made treats that had egg in it (originally, it had egg because I wanted kai to have a nicer coat), peas, carrots, bits of green beans and some more stuff that I can't remember...
