omg Jameson what makes you think it is a good idea to sleep like this?
I’m trying to envision some sort of scenario in which this makes sense. like, was he halfway in the tunnel & then he realized he was too exhausted to get all the way in? was his leg sore? did he suddenly black out while getting in? did he forget what he was doing & just decide to fall asleep?
I freaked out a little bit when I saw him because I thought he had had a heart attack & died like that, but then I realized, no, he was just sleeping.

Jameson gave up on being fed dinner & just laid down on the wheel & stared at me with a sickly, pitiful expression.

I like watching Darcy interact with the other rats, because it’s really obvious he is not even close to being the dominant rat, but he doesn’t seem to realize this.
and sometimes he just climbs up on a box & stares dramatically down at the other rats with this very smug, satisfied expression like “Yes. I am definitely the alpha. These others are my inferiors & I am their leader,” & then Badger will jump up & attack him.

I found out yesterday that Carter has been PEEING in the other rats’ faces!
This is probably why they have been mean to him. I would be mean to people who peed in my face, too.
I gave him a stern talking-to & it is my sincere hope he will not continue with this behavior.
