Sad rats??? or what....

This is a web cam of rats in some science place.  

I have been looking at this site for a couple of weeks and the lights were on just one time.  

No people to play with.  Lonley rats alone in the dark all the time.   Makes me sad.

Look and tell me what you think.

HeHe    just one question .... do the people in the house realize they are on camera .... hehe
I went to see the ratties but it was dark    but i did see people walking around

I saw like 5 people.....It's too dark but I could see a faint outline of a white rat, and it was grooming itself!!  They don't seem too happy without people to play with.

Rats are intelligent animals, and the text towards the bottom states they have plenty of toys and space, even other ratties to play with! I wouldn't be too worried about it, unless you see a sick rat. I'm sure they are human-deprived, but other than that, they seem content.

Ummm.  You know those rats are at a museum or school in Oregon, right?  So if you're going in the morning early and you're on the east coast, it'll always be dark cause no one is there yet!    I was actually lucky enough to see it one day when they were taking a class through for a tour.  It was great to see all the kids looking in with smiles on their faces.
