I can't with these rats. Candy escaped at night again, then I couldn't sleep because she was biting the transporter non stop, so at 6:50 I let her out and she was obviously trying to get down again, no second thoughts. So after I made sanwiches for Ash, I took both of them out to let them run it all out. Cotton was okay, but Candy was adamant on getting behind the sofa/bed again... and after a while she succeeded.
Then I put them back to the cage, but Cotton apparently took a courage potion because she slid down the cage and went for the inside of the sofa (where you keep all the bedding stuff) and Candy went behind the wardrobe. I managed to bait Cotton out with my peanut butter sandwich, put her back inthe cage, but Candy is either too smart or too easily scared because I just couldn't get her out. And Cotton was no help, she kept sliding down the cage and int the bed again -.-
So I texted Ash and am like "it's daylight, why don't they want to sleep?

" And he tells me maybe it's better they will run it all out now and will let us sleep at night... But damn it, I can't help being nervous about all those unprotected cables and about IF they will even get tired at all, they are energy volcanoes
They flash in front of my eyes once in a while, so I know where they are more or less, but it's still unnerving. And I can't even shift my position in the slightest to get a better view on them, because they panic and hide again
I should try and find some small metal crate because urgh, it's not good x.x
And maybe some cable protection... because even if we cover the top of the cage with the metal crate (if we can get one, that is), I don't suppose those two will be nice enough and stay out of any holes... and there's plenty of holes in this room and nothing to cover them with, so like... grandma, you're a fucking genius x.x
@Julez: That's what I thought. I hate to say it, but you'll probably have poor sleeping month ahead of you

When do you start work there?
