Many possibilities.
A. One Rat Pup a week will not be enough food for long, I'd recommend feeding every 5 days while young.
B. Yes, he could still be getting settled in and nervous.
C. Did you wake him up?
D. Is he coming up for a shed (his eyesight will worsen and hence he will be more nervous). |

| from the sound of it, he's probably going into shed. Sofia's just gone through her 1st one since I've had her & just after her eyes clouded & cleared she hissed at me a few times. It took her about 7 days of being left completely alone apart from changing her water & increasing the humidity & yesterday morning she'd shed, absolutely perfect eye caps and all!! |
