Some people , or rather most people , prefer thicker keycaps . Mostly because of the deeper sound and more solid feel . Although I get the feeling that many people prefer them because they heardread somewhere they are better , but they have not tried thinner keycaps themselves . And thicker ones also seem better because they are less prone to break . <| sep |> They might have separated months ago . <| sep |> Because they ' re sucked into the cool guy syndrome and they like to follow the trends <| sep |> They already are my enemy <| sep |> I ' m honestly confused . We ' re expected to take food home on both sides in my family . They provide carry out boxes 😳 . Is this not normal ? <| sep |> It takes time . If the method of bonding you are using now isn ' t working , then I would switch to something else . For example , try bringing them into a smaller space , like a bathroom , or on a bed , and socializing with them there . You can do one at a time if you wish though usually it is easiest to do both . If they are playing near their cage , they are more likely to hide behind it and potentially get defensive . I would also keep in mind most rats are against being held at first it is very unnatural to be picked up , unless they were properly acclimated to it as babies . Also , in the first picture , it looks like the white one has some dark red eyes ? If that is the case , she likely has worse vision then most rats , which can cause trouble since it is easier to spook her . So I would work on getting her used to your voice . I have a feeling you believe they are acting this way because you have two together , so I just to clarify on this When rats are isolated , they are sometimes more needy for human attention , but only because they have nothing else to turn to and are desperate , which isn ' t really a life for a social animal . So even though having one may make the process move along faster for certain rats , just keep in mind that you are choosing to purchase a social animal , and a friend is part of their basic needs . Many times , having two can actually speed up the process as well , because they have each other and are more comfortable in general . It is pretty unlikely for both rats in a pair to be skittish , and most rats definitely do not bite . So your next pair will probably be a bit easier . I just want to make sure you don ' t brush off getting a pair next time since your first experience is turning out coincidentally stressful . It usually isn ' t !
