[FONT="]Share your cute pet moments!
I recently got a pet rat, named Greed, and this is a cute moment we just had.
I haven’t held Greed in a few days and I felt kind of bad, so I took him out to let him roam. He did his typical, burrow in my clothes and hide deal, but didn’t really want to be held or stay still to let me pet him. Earlier, I had set a bowl of water nearby for him to get further acquainted with water as I may need to bathe him later in life, and it’s good exposure. He wasn’t too interested in much, and had begun to groom himself after sitting with me for around 20 minutes. So, I thought, without a cage-mate he’s probably a bit socially starved, so I began to simulate another rat grooming him with my fingers. Greed didn’t notice at first, but after I got the ratty chewing pattern right with my nails… he totally went rag-doll on me and loved it! After a bit, I thought it may be more enjoyable if it felt more legit, so I moistened my fingers with the water bowl and started to fluff his fur and then smooth it back out, just like another rat would do with their teeth and tongue. I’ve had rats before, but never had I seen one so happy and content! Sometimes when I stopped, he would even groom me back and lick and nibble my skin. I must have sat with him for two, yes TWO hours grooming him like this.
