I brought home 2 young rats from Petco a few days ago. They've acclimated well to the mischief but, expectedly, are still skittish and getting used to handling. I'm assuming this is why they're nippy with me (not aggressive), but was wondering if they're like cats--? I've had a cat who suckled because she was taken off the teat too soon.

If they are chomping your fingers but not hurting they are just exploring and playing.If they nip to hard squeak and them and pull your hand away to let them know .

Thanks! I'll try this and then use Ratty_123 's method if there's no success
