@TheChapin241281 Actually, that's call bruxing, it's the equivalent to purring. If the facial muscles aren't moving then it's the rat trying to grind its teeth down as rats teeth never stop growing.
Just to get the word out, I own my very own rat Sanctuary, if any rat needs a home, contact me! I am located in Herriman, Utah, in the Salt Lake Valley. All i require is for you to come to me! Drop offs are accepted!
When I got home from the vet some months ago, I was crying. When I went into my room, I noticed my rats weren't greeting me with their "chattering noice", so I looked towards the cage. -Empty. I just couldn't believe my rats weren't there anymore.
And the morning waking up and the first thing you see when you're sitting up, is an empty cage. That really made my day depressing, since I started it to cry for 30 minutes. I still cry.
Watch the eyes of the rat on the right when he does that. His eyes bug out briefly...I first noticed that on my Lil Ana when she does it (she's also a black hooded). XoD
My girls do that when I rub behind their ears...they close their little eyes and start chattering...
@MrPlonkas What, not man enough to do it yourself? Gotta hide behind your doggy? By the way, your average rat is likely a hundred times cleaner than your Jack Russell. Just saying.
@MrPlonkas shut up, you're obviously a nob with no heart.. i think you'll find that Rats are one of the cleanest animal! as for your pesky Jack Russel, well, you and it can both go die far as i'm concerned.
@Sake906 It's called bruxing. It's basically a rat's 'purr'. It means they're happy. The same with 'boggling' when they chatter and their eyes pop in and out.
@Sake906 those are hard days. 2 yrs is too short a time. i know. & they fall so fast. but for all that? i'll never regret the 2 years i kept 4 of them (along with my cat. & they all died of ripe old age)
@thedarknesscallingme "dont know what people have got against rats, these two are cute"
I do. I lived on a farm when I was younger & wild rats destroyed everything. But there is a huge difference between wild & tame (fancy) rats. I use to hate them on the farm, but when I bit the bullet & bought one for my son, I fell in love with them & they make the best pets in the world.
Also rats loooove spaghetti noodles and it's one of the foods that's good for them. They love to gobble spaghetti up because it's fun for them to eat it in big long strings - every time I gave pasta to my rats they would flip out and go hyper grabbing strings to eat.
Rats mostly do this when relaxed or contented but they also sometimes do it when scared or in terrible pain - as a kind of delirious action. Always be wary of every aspect of the context of your animal's actions so you can be sensitive to whatever might be ailing them.
In any case when they are happy and doing it on you it's usually a sign that they love you in their own ratty way. :3

in this video a rat sneezes. my rats do this but ever 4 seconds or so. not all the time just when they are awake
Is it resp infection?
If so how do i cure it, Home remedys ( shop bought stuff counts as home remedy)
Im not paying a vet £50 for something that might not work or leads to death.
