My rats are still really new, they've been eating and exploring their cage and letting my pet them, but today I noticed something.
One of my girls put her teeth around the tip of my finger, as if she was just feeling me with her teeth? I wasn't holding her and she wasn't showing signs of distress. It wasn't an actual bite, it didn't hurt, but she's done it more than once! She's done it when I stick my hand down to let her sniff.
Does this mean I'm annoying her? Will it turn into biting if I don't do something?
