Boggling ♥

[dspch911]

My sweet Curley was on the bed with Al and I and was just walking around being his inquisitive self even leaving me a nice poop. But then, he slowed down and laid next to me by my shoulder so I started rubbing his back - and it happened......first the chatter which was loud so I thought something was wrong, then the eye flutter :heart: :cuddle: :heart: and this time I knew it wasn't a seizure, even though it still looks wrong to me. My boy was giving me an early birthday present that last about 10 minutes on and off - still brings tears to my eyes :heart: :heart:

When rats brux, grind their teeth, it can affect their eye socket which makes their eyes pop in and out. They can do this when stressed but mostly when very content.

Its very scary to watch the first time, actually the first few times especially when you don't know what it is. Curley bruxed (teeth grind) before the eye thing (boggling) - then it was just the boggling for awhile. Hope I got that right, still learning.

It doesn't get much better than that, does it? What a lovely birthday present.

Ya it's like a facial seziure and the eyes flutter in and out of their sockets like they will pop any second but don't worry they won't lol.

Here's my gizmo doing it from last year, I loved seeing that, I was so happy I caught it on vid!
