Since we seem to have several rodent lovers here I thought I would update ;)
First of all, her name....
I went with Barb's suggestion of Jezebel. It was/is just WAY too fitting not to! :biglaugh: I call her Jezzie for short, or lil' rat....lol
She's still feisty. I cant pick her up yet, but shes totally find with my hand being in the cage, and in most cases, with me petting her. If I wake her up to pet her, or startle her, she's a little snot, but Im pretty sure I would be too.
She doesnt like her ball, I think its because its too small. I need to buy the next size up. This morning I was cleaning out her cage so I put her in it and set her on my bed (on a towel) and ran the vacuum. She FLIPPED out! She peed in the ball (she does this every time shes in it though) and looked like a mime in a box trying to get out. Luckily the vacuum was just the last step and I moved her to her cage and she was fine.
Shes so funny when I clean the cage. She immediately goes to all her food hiding spots and starts investigating whats missing (everything). Then she goes back up to her food dish and gathers more food, brings it down and starts redistributing it. I dont think shes actually eating 1/4 of the food she hides, but I guess thats the life of a rodent ;)
Here's a cute pic of her that I took while she was restocking...lol
Ill attach others if you want to see them. The process of filling up her pouches, then she turned and looked at me, then she turned to head back down the tube to the ground floor. The last picture didnt come out well because its focused on the cage instead of her, but if you look to the right of the blue door, you can see her little butt as she goes down the tube. Her little pink tail sticking up in the air....lol

Good Luck with her!
