I need advice regarding my new rat, Donald. Help?

I originally posted this on facebook so I'll just copy and paste the post...

This is Donald, I adopted him from a friend and he was alone and in a hamster cage so I wanted to get him into a bigger one as he's growing up. I got him 2 friends who are a lot bigger but I've introduced them in a few different neutral places. They get on fine. Donald has had the odd stand off which is expected but ye doesn't seem to want to know them. He's on this shelf all the time asking to come out, he's been coming out for at least a few hours each day to get him more confident. Problem is he'd rather be with me than them. I put him in his old cage last night just in case and he acts no different. He's even lying down with his eyes half closing as he won't sleep, this was in his old cage too. There are hiding places and beds for him but what I initially thought was sweet has become a bit of a problem. I love him but I have a life too! Any advice... (ps cage looks empty, more at other side plus hammocks arriving tomorrow)

He's a little live wire too, marks me all the time! Also, when he has food he'll get carried away and try to carry 5 nuggets at once... he has plenty too!





Help... Donald's obsessed with me!!!
