I have two girl rats. Janis is the one that comes up to play more and enjoys my company better, but the weird thing is that every once in awhile she gives me a good nip. It doesn't break the skin and it doesn't hurt much (it's more of a shock every time), but she's definitely not just nibbling.
At first she only did this with my toes, and my boyfriend's too for that matter. But the other day I was sitting on the couch with my roommate--after reassuring her several times that the rats would not bite her, I might add--and Janis straight up nipped me on the knee!
Sometimes I almost feel like she's just being mischievous and wants to see us jump, but I wondered if there was some other reason. My other rat doesn't do this at all though. What's up?
