This is one of the things I love most about breeding for GENETIC temperament.
These babies have never been โworked withโ, handled daily, or conditioned to interact with people. In fact, the only time they have been handled before this video was for routine nest checks which last a few seconds and moving between their cage and a carrier for cage cleaning days.
Theyโre simply genetically inclined to be confident and curious little rats.
Good temperament isnโt taught and it certainly should not be conditioned into them by overhandling.
