I got this new rat in a cage. I tried to let him smell my finger and hand. I also pat him gently, but he avoided me whenever I pat him (you should see the funny face he makes when he avoids me). I tried to hold him up but he was so stress that he kept shitting and peeing (sorry for the descriptive language).
Experienced owner: Is there any secret tricks to help make him like me more? He doesn't even seem to be curious at me, unlike other rats I had.
Also, is there any special spot that they like when human pat them? You know, for dogs they like tummy rub, things like this.

Try talking to it and feeding it with your hand.My friend used to pea fish with her rats.You get a bowl of water and put in come peas.They look the water and also love the peas!!!
