"If your rats have an Octo-Ferret Head in their cage, consider getting a 2nd one, let the rats snuggle in it inside the cage for a few days, then take it out and use it for ""lap work"". Put the rats in it, settle down on your couch or wherever, twist the ""legs"" to block them (or use binder clips), slide your hand inside with them, and become a Rat with them. They love to snuggle in a warm cave and will be delighted to have you visit in such an intimate fashion."
