Observing my rats: 2 female rats,

they live together, sleep together, ... maybe play together? i have them out of their cage alot and when they are with me they run through my tops, or sleep, and sometimes explore my room. They eat lots, and they sometimes have baths. cloud likes to run in her wheel, ivan doesnt. cloud is more friendly then ivan, ivan is not very nice, and is sometimes mean to cloud.
