i temporarily live with my boyfriend and he has 2 rats. they're kinda weird and for some reason really not used to us. we try to play with them but they just want to run around on his shelf.
i want them to be able to hang out with them..so how would i go about doing this?
they are both males btw

Rats like to run around, its no big deal unless they start to get bitey. Just handle them more and they should eventually get more sociable.

Best advice: Get some cheese Yogies from the pet store. They LOVE them, and they're really useful for training.

When you get them, get the rats used to you by making them come get the treats when you open the cage. Pet them a little, give them a yogie. Take them out and hold them at least once a day for a good 10,15 minutes. Make sure you give them yogies while you're doing it.

Male rats are usually really friendly and chilled out when they're socialized :)

Give them food, and they shall do your bidding!

If they're young, maybe they're just hyper. Young rats are like kids on ADHD.

Someone should tell that kid to get his hands out of the milk. How unsanitary.
