Three Blind Mice… Err, Rats
Our new pet rats are great, and Oreo is becoming a real friend. Bobby Jack, however, seems very nervous all the time. He squeaks and sneezes a lot, and he uses his nose to try to burrow into my hand when I hold him. We are thinking he might be blind. I don’t know that much about rat behavior; these are my first pet rats. But it just seems like Bobby Jack can’t see. Are there vision tests for rats? I guess I have some research to do about rat blindness, squeaking, and sneezing…
