Nugi seems to be getting a bit more comfy with us. He did some wandering around Adriennes bed and sniffed at things. He seemed a bit put off by his breakfast, but Im sure that will change once he realizes that we are the “good people” with nummy foods. He will be much happier once he gets in the cage with the other two ratties. Wembley and Fergus keep a lifestyle that would shame all but the laziest =D.

What Nugi really needs is some constant and consistent one on one time with us. He needs to feel he can trust all of us in this house. Its loud and boisterous around here and Im sure thats something completely new for him as well. He will learn to enjoy all the different foods and playtime that will be available to him, its just being patient and gentle with him. I havent seen him use his hammock yet, but maybe he is still feeling frightened and unsure of things.

We’ll see, but in the meantime he is upstairs alone and I know thats hard for a rat, especially a baby that has never been by himself. It will work out and sooner than he realizes he will be in the big boy cage playing with the other boys!
