at some point there will be non-rat, fannish posts again (I hope)

...but not yet. Meanwhile my rats still won't come out to play. This rather sucks, not least because with them in the cage all the time I have much less contact with them, than if they were running outside where I sit, reading fanfic, watching tv, wasting my time on the internet, etc. I mean, I do go up the cage of course to pet them, and bribe them with treats and such, but I'm not standing next to a cage door for hours on end. I'm used to my rats just coming up to me throughout the evening whenever they want. Of course right now these don't.

If I had wanted to feel snubbed by my pets I would have gotten a cat. :(
