Weird Behaviour?

[Jess<3Rats]

Hiya
My rattie Angella has been acting a bit strange lately...When i go to pick her up or touch her she beings to shake violently, her head rears up and her back arches :? Is this normal or is there something wrong? Shes never done this before and im worried.
Thanks

Hi! Yep, that's very normal behaviour, your girl is in heat when she does this. :wink2:

LOL, yeah, the heat-freeze! I think it's hilarious.

Ha! Ok thanks people...oh dear how did i not realize!

It is weird to see, especially if it's not something you're used to. When I first saw it in one of my girls it caught me off guard, but I had seen it playing with sweet Maya (Lilspaz's now departed sweetie) so I knew what it was.

I'd never seen it before Phoe. Maybe I'm er, crossing some lines, but I find it hilarious to scratch her back and she gets all spazzy. Let's not compare that to anything!

No lines crossed on my end, I love to catch them and give them a sexy bum scratch! LOL

I'm guilty of that too. Unfortunately, I don't get that "fun" since all my girls are spayed but I've got 6 girls still waiting to be spayed. :giggle:
