Mama's Boy, Kissies, and the Ice Queen
Three different rats.
Three totally different personalities.
Remington, of course, is my sweet little man. He is truly a mama's boy, and doesn't even like my husband touching him (he will accept treats, however). I've heard talk of "heart rats", ratties that just scritch their way into your heart and are truly loving creatures. Rem-rem is indeed one of those special rats. :)
Fennel has really come out of her shell. What was once a skittish (but curious) rat has now become a full-blown rat adventurer...and a MAJOR kisser. I dunno if my skin is especially salty or what...but rarely a night goes by when she's not giving me little rat kisses.
...case in point. :P
Cammie is not nearly so outgoing as her sister, and in fact would much rather be left alone. (hence the Ice Queen moniker) She's a bit controlling, and will occasionally grab Fennel by the ear to try and drag her back into the cage. With her teeth.
I'm hoping it's just a phase.

Haha, maybe Cammie is acting like the insecure, mature older sister....
"What do you think you're doing--get back inside and stop acting like a fool!"
@ai_shitemo - *giggle* That's a cute interpretation!
heheh, thanks. I've lived that bit with my sister, but she dragged me inside by the ear with her inch-long nails... TT^TT Be sure to tell Fennel that I sympathize!
My 5 rats all have completely different personalities too. I've seen my rats do the ear thing too. It seems like they are just teasing each other, or trying to get on the others nerves.
@MakouBaby - I think in Chamomile's case it's a control thing...or perhaps aggression (she is the reason why Fennel only has 1 eye). It's hard to say though...
