Bruxing and boggling of rats

Bruxing and boggling is what rats do when they are very happy. Bruxing is when they grind their teeth. When bruxing is carried out very hard their jaw muscles force their eyes outwards and this is called boggling.

This video will change your opinion about rats. And this woman might change your opinion about the human race because she is beautiful. She such an understanding, sensible person. She is an animal lover and a vet tech.

Another thing about this video which I find good is that rats have a lifespan of two years. If you want to adopt a pet but you are old and don’t want to leave your pet behind when you die, which you might think about if you’re going to adopt a cat or dog, you might adopt a rat instead!

The thing is though that you can’t be indoctrinated with the idea that rats are horrible and dirty creatures. The problem with rats is that they have such a terrible public image. People think they are horrible. Well, not everybody because there are a lot of people keep them as pets and very fine pets they make to.

They are very misunderstood. This lady understands them and the rat fully appreciates it. They have a wonderful relationship.

A person who commented on this video said that she had a pet rat when she was in high school and “he was the sweetest most loving animal I’ve ever had!”

She says that he would follow her everywhere she went even outside when she went to get the mail. She started to take him for the walks up the street. Her rat slept with her and watched TV with her. Just like a dog or cat. And her rat would constantly kiss her. You can see that in the video with this vet tech.

She also says that “They are very misunderstood and deserve love and kindness just like all living creatures do. I miss him so much.”

There you go. People need to have a different opinion about rats. That’s obvious.
