Part 2 of 2: Biting Rat - Familiar Human Picks up Teddy Rat

If you want to help scared rats trust again, studying their body language can help. Watch Teddy Rat's human, Debra Mendelsohn, pick him up. She gives him lots of time to explore her, but when she picks him up, he screams. Eventually, though, he calms down in her arms. Thanks to Debra for the opportunity to visit her rescued rats and meet them for the first time, including Teddy.
