So my male rat mouse, is 19 weeks old and I know that's the age of puberty but hrs recently become a little bitey and when ever I go to touch him (or touch him to much) he scratches/digs at the floor/ cage and rubs his body along the the walls and such.
Is this another way of them scenting or is it a sign of agitation?
Mouses brother I sadly had to give to a friend due to him making my older rat and mouse bleed and biting me (couldn't afford to get him fixed) and owe mouse is doing exactly what his brother was doing (apart from making the older rat bleed and me)
I get up dates from my friend who has informed me that mouses brother is still fluffing up, digging at the floor and biting. Mouse will fluff up, dig and the floor and do a hard nip.
If anyone has any information on this and up date me on what's going on that would be great.
Thanks
