well assuming there pet rats not wild ones..the rat has to be confident in the fact that the owner isn't there to harm it. i would suggest talking to it and letting it know your not an enemy. eventually you can pick it up and hopefully it wont be scared of you. make sure you wash your hands before handling, it might be because you smell of food you've handled and rats have a very good nose but poor sight.
I've had mice for awhile and I always scoop them up or grab their tails. do not scoop them up if they aren't used to being held or they will bite you. Don't be afraid to hold them by their tails, it doesn't hurt them. But don't hold them upside down too long.
you need a mod. example: with the more creatures mod you can pick up rats, mice, and tamed cats.
It is possible that they are shaking from fear. When something picks them up in the wild, it is usually the end.
Beagles are great at catching mice. Once they pick up the scent of a rodent, they start zeroing in and are quick when confronting one.
well i have 5 five day old mice and i just pick them up and hold them CAREFULLY and give them kisses on ther backs.
yes - if it's a big teaspoon, or a small baby mouse. Why would you want to though?
After about two to three days you should pick the mice up but make sure the mother and father are not there. After about 2 weeks the mice will open There eyes and start to walk around a little. * mice will be very jumpy and should be separated so they do not breed.
Don't hold them so long, or only pick them up after you have seen them do what they needed to do in their cage first.
they pick up their feet....they put them down..and ta- da!!
Yeah, if you pick them up and they try to run off your hand in a hurry, they can leave cut or two on your hand. It does hurt, so be careful when picking them up.
Well, if your trying to clean its cage get a box with plenty of holes or a smaller back up cage, get it, hlod him/her tight (not to tight) & quickly put them in the other box/cage. Some mice don't like being picked up but if it always biting you, I suggest stop picking it up & give it some space.
The pick up box on a 2001 Chevy pick up is not the same as the pick up box on a 2007 Chevy pick up. These are different year models.
pick me up
