I think I had a MAJOR win today.
Did a full clean out of her enclosure & then let my interior decorating skills go wild..
She came out for me with out any real drama although i did use a hook. Putting her in the tub i had for her while i cleaned was interesting but still ok & going back to her newly renovated pad she came out of the tub to me & i put her straight into the enclosure.
No panicking, no striking & it was all pretty calm & as soon as she was in she went exploring. The hide box is a $12 upside down planter box with one end cut out from bunnings with some coir matting on the outside & then the fake vine.
Thanks MidsReps, the only reason i'm talking medium rats is that i got 25 of them with her. I think i'll try her with 2 of those in a day or so & see how she goes.
