Some rats are so comfortable they sleep on their backs. These rats are usually laid back and quite happy with life. Their stress levels are low and they get along with most anyone or anyrat. I’ve had a few rats like that. Currently I have Desmond who likes to sleep on his back. Finding your rat in that position is a heart stopping moment. You swear your rat has passed on and not in some deep comfy sleep. We run to the cage, fling it open and grab the limp body and will it to life… no, will it to an awaken state. The rat confused doesn’t realized he just gave his human a heart attack. I’ve grown used to the sleeping habit but for a split second, my heart is in my throat, once I relax, I can enjoy the moment, the sleeping beauty on his back.
Spook is one adorable little guy who loves to sleep on his back. His mom aptly named him. Talk about getting spooked each time you catch him in his favorite position. His mom a member on the Rat Shack (RKbusy) is often posting the wonderful back sleeping pics of Spook and we all can’t get enough of him.
