I can't say I know much about the noises, but I swear rats DO have mood swings. One of my girls is the exact same way. Some days she'll be more curious and want to come out and play (I'm still getting them used to handling) and other days she'll run away and not want to come out at all. Usually I have to take their house (where they always hide) out before I can even get them to consider playing.carlylox said:Also, he seems a bit mood swingy.

Noisy Tonks!
Our 1 year old boy Tonks has recently started making a lot funny noises, he's always made the bruxing noise, chattering away all over the place but he's started making different noises.
The only way I can really describe it is like a Jibber Jabber (I don't know how many people remember these toys) :?
He's very vocal and I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their rats. If so, have they always done it or did it start suddenly like Tonks?
I was a bit worried there was something wrong with him when we first heard him do it but he seems ok and even went so far as to groom my OH's hair last night. He's never been the friendliest out of our bunch so this really suprised us. 8O
