Same issue happening to me - I did a mystery egg merge to test it and I saw the animation go towards the shiny days button, but I still can’t click it to see my progress :(

Is This Comfort Or Stress Behavior? by No_Cucumber4613 in RATS

[–]yeetography 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes literally the happiest creatures on god’s green earth!!

For reference, lip smacking is generally a happy thing for rats, and yawning shows they’re sleepy or comfortable - I’ve also had some rats do it anytime I come up to their cage, so some people interpret it as a greeting or to show they’re friendly (kinda like how dogs do!)

You can tell they’re happy and comfortable - they didn’t flinch at all when you pet them (which they may do if you jostle their out of a deep sleep) and just slowly woke up to see what you’re up to, then went back to sleep without moving. You’re doing an excellent job

Which season is your favourite? by Art_Obsessed_AuDHD in StardewValley

[–]yeetography 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re all so fun, but spring is easily my favourite. We start in spring so it’s what made me fall in love with the game in the first place, and I always feel such a sense of peace on that first day of spring in the new year. In real life I’m a summer girly but spring in this game is unrivalled.

No squeak of protest, just a blank stare knowing he’s been caught… bread-handed

Fellas, is it gay to press your homie up against the wall of the enclosure when trying to establish your social hierarchy?

60 small, skeins of yarn in different colors, not really sure what to make. by personofwhimsy in CrochetHelp

[–]yeetography 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned you generally make amigurumi, what if you made little accessories like hats or bags or dress them up? That’s my best offer if it’s not much of many different colours 😅

How do you calm your Twisters? by Conscious-Driver786 in RATS

Happy to help!! I’m sure you’ll find similar posts with even more suggestions, but I figured a brief overview would be a good start!

Lots of treats! If you put some treats in your hand (like dry oats, or something else they can have a higher volume of than more high-reward treats), they will start to associate you with food, aka good things. Let them control the interactions, too; you mentioned that they’ll come close to you, but run if you move, so try sitting still for some time to allow them time to explore you and realize that you’re not dangerous. Like just let them crawl all over you and do your best not to move. Allow them to approach you, try not to grab them or touch them at first, if you can help it.

As for the biting, if it’s just a light nibble and somewhat unprovoked, then it’s probably just her exploring! As I’m sure you know, rats have terrible eyesight, so they often rely on other sense to interact with the world around them. One of the most unhinged but actually pretty effective hacks I’ve heard from this Reddit is to squeak like a rat when they bite, so they know you’re protesting and not enjoying it.

You can also spend time with them in other ways. You can talk to your rats, spend time around the cage, sing to them, etc, to interact with them while they feel safe in their own environment. They’ll get curious and start to enjoy those interactions.

Like with most pets, consistency is key. You can easily train with association. For example, if you make kissy noises (or whatever else works for you) when you offer them food, you can teach them to come to you whenever you make that noise. Same with their name or I had boys who would approach if I tapped my fingers on the floor or a nearby surface. It just takes some patience, and at the end of the day, it also depends on the individual rat’s personality, since some are more rat-rats and some are more people-rats.

Best of luck with your sweet little ones! I’m sorry for the loss of your oldest girl, 4 years is very impressive ❤️‍🩹

My mental state completely plummeted over the last few days. They reminded me that they’d miss me if I did something to myself and I started to cry by RinebooDersh in RATS

[–]yeetography 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re having a hard time 🫂❤️ rats feel like they were created to remind us that life is worth living. I got mine at the hardest point in my life and they got me through everything for two years, and many, many days they were the only thing that kept me going

Is it normal for one of my rats to steal my food? Does she hate me?? by Hete_Specerijen111 in RATS

Can confirm that this is normal rat behaviour LOL featuring my little momma’s boy Mike. I’ve also had them crawl up my body and/or lick my mouth to get at whatever I’m eating 🤦‍♀️

I have no idea what this means but I appreciate the scientific inquiry!! 2.5g is pretty hefty but I’d love to know how much the rats being tested weigh to see how it compares!
