i got new rats a little while ago, it's been almost a week. my rats don't seem very interested in me at all. i tried petting them a couple of days ago and my blk n white rat, hamilton, tried to bite me. i dont think he was doing it to be mean, im pretty sure that he wasn't though he just kinda lightly put his teeth on my finger and i quickly took it away. ( im pretty sure he wasn't biting me because i had food on my hands, because i kno that rats do that sometimes so i made sure i washed my hands.) i have tried to "bribe" them out of the cage with different foods. so now if i am there, they only come to me if i have food, thats all they care about. i haven't been able to hold them at all, and since hami tried to bite me, im kinda scared to. i really do love them i just don't know what to do. they are already like 6-7weeks old, im scared that they either aren't going to like me or that they will bite me. what do i do?!?!?!?
