Changing my rats names?

Question

my rats haven't learnt their names and i actually want to change them. at the minute they are known as 'Rafiki' and 'Zazu', they are both males. will it matter if i change their names, i now want to call them 'Remy' and 'Emile'

Answer 1

change  the  names.

Answer 2

the rats wont care if they havent learned their names yet, just make your mind up or they will never get it

Answer 3

I think it would be ok to change their names, but it wouldnt make any difference.

  

Answer 4

well i had a similar thing with 1 of my 2 guinea pigs. one of them is called cocacola but she didnt seem to like the sound of it, or maybe it was too long for her so i call her "coca" or "cokalina" or "cocakila". she seems to like those names more coz she always responds by squaking or coming towards the cage door and licks my finger...

so yeah, i think its ok to change the names, but make sure they REALLY respond to them so you dont have to change them again!

i dont think it will matter too much if you change their names now because if what you said was true about how Remy came straight over to you when you called then yeah you should change them. maybe they didnt like their old names very much =]

Answer 12

That's cute.

You're either really young, or possibly retarded.

Answer 13

Are you being serious here?  Since when did rats acknowledge that they actually have a name?  So, no, I don't think it will matter a bean .....  

Answer 14

they won't mind at all - so change the names if you would be happier doing that.

its important to be happy with the names, so best to change them.

good luck.

Answer 16
