My first time having rats

I’ve never owned rats before, though my wife has, so when our kids asked if we could adopt a couple, she jumped on the opportunity. Im still studying up on rat culture as much as possible, but it seems like everyone is settling in okay.

We’ve only had our two little boys for a day. And while I told my wife everything I’ve read so far has said to give them a day or two to adjust to their new environment, she hasn’t been able to help herself and spent half the day hanging out with them, culminating in this picture of what I assume is a tired but comfortable wee guy getting some cuddly sleep.

I’ll admit that I went into this with a bit of apprehension because we have a somewhat busy life. And I know it’s only been a day, I fully expect future challenges, but that hesitation is already fading a bit and I’m already rather taken by them and it seems like things are going alright so far.
