Ok this must be stupid post and all.. but its important to me, and I felt like sharing it

I washed piippa since she was rather dirty cos of all the bleeding (bleeding from rear end topic on health section).
Anyway, after the wash and warming and drying her up she let me hold her on my lap!!! she didnt try to run away( she had energy trust me!) and go explore like she always does. She just kissed my hand and let me scratch and pat her! ALSO she boggled and bruxed for the very first time EVER.
Trust me, ive tried everything in the past to let me pat her or even sit on my lap!
Shes not afraid of me, just not the cuddly type girl.. but but! She let me do it and pat her! and she boggled and bruxed!
Yes, I know im repeating myself.
*is happy*

Aw, cute!
I'm waiting for the day that at least one of my girls lets me do that. Lol.

Often older rats or infirm, or ill rats will bond with you during these times. I call them the Golden Years when they are older.

I am happy for you both, enjoy every moment of it

One of my girls can be so loud sometimes that she sounds like coffee percolating Not sure what boggling is though.
