New bedding

 
Every few days I leave a few pieces of card – from packaging or toilet roll tubes – outside Ronnie and Derek’s house because they like using it for bedding.

Watch Derek pulling the card, piece by piece, into their house! He also starts nibbling one of the pieces – presumably he felt it needed downsizing slightly.

Derek and Ratta

 
Watch Derek playing with a ‘Gosig Ratta’ Ikea soft-toy rat! He probably thought it’d make good bedding…

Synchronised eating

 
Watch Ronnie and Derek busily and simultaneously eating a treat, then investigating the camera!

Food fight

 
Watch Ronnie and Derek having a food fight over a rat treat this afternoon!

Human fighting

 
Ronnie and Derek enjoying play-fighting with each other (more info here), but have recently started to often roll on their backs in the cage when I go to pick them up, so I can ‘groom’ them in the way they groom each other while fighting. Watch a video of this below.
