shit you ' re right . is he good first though ? <| sep |> Well , all of my rats are from breeders . Cleo the white fluffball you see in the photo , does not act like a female at all . But she doesn ' t necessarily act like any of my males I have 19 rats . She ' s really weird . But . I also have two other females who act similar to her , but one is extremely shy and will squeal if I pick her up sometimes . The other is a lot more lovable and will try to kiss the hell out of my hand . Cleo just goes limp and lets me hold her , flip her , tickle her , etc . I don ' t know if it ' s because of how much I handled them when they were younger , or if it ' s because I forced them to come out without giving them a chance to even get used to their environment . These three rats hated me for months , they ' re about a year old now , and they squeal at me if I don ' t play with them before I leave my bedroom . I think I just have three very strange female rats . BUT . I do have females that do not like being held . I ' m not some magician that breaks rats , haha . They act like typical females who love running everywhere and want nothing to do with me . If I come up to the cage , they ignore me .
