sad little sound

[lindsayfawn]

As I write this I have Alice out and she's all cuddled up on my shoulder. Poor thing is still being picked on by Gloria. Gloria tried to hide her but putting all this fleece and toilet paper roles around Alice and then was laying beside her...so strange.
Alice likes the one on one time with me, she was even bruxing which is amazing for her to do 'cause she's sooo skitish and shy.
I took this video of her and Gloria. Gloria just kinda beat up her a little and Alice started to make this noise.
I feel bad for her, and I'm trying the time out things with Gloria...hopefully she'll stop picking on her.

edit: I forgot to add that you need to listen really carefully 'cause it's kinda hard to hear..it sounds like a whine kinda. she sure loved just being on the bed with me with out anyone else, sweet little thing

I couldn't hear the noise. I think Lily is picked on by Pearl a lot and it sounds very whiney. I will have to take a video of it sometime. I was informed by someone I know that Lily is very recluse and Pearl does it to make her come out of her shell. Is it possible that it's the same reason?

Edit: sorry I meant I couldn't hear the noise.

Yep, it's a pitiful sad sound to us. But we don't know what it means to them. :wink:

Aaawwww! Poor Alice! That sounds sooo sad! I hope she and Gloria work out their issues. I guess I'm lucky to have several rats in different cages because when I have one who seems unhappy I usually move them in with another group. So far that's worked well for me. Give Alice a smootch and a squishy hug from me and go tell that mean ol' Gloria to behave herself!
