BUT…IS IT SAFE? #Potato sometimes has a look on her face like snake zombies are about to eat her! 😂 #Rats have so many different types of personalities just like humans do. Potato, since a baby, has always been very cautious, insecure, quirky … and DRAMATIC! When I call out for breakfast, she peeks her little head out and looks at me scared, like I might hit her with a pancake. Then when she’s about to eat, she stands in front of her dish and stomps her little feet in place. I never knew what she was doing, but after getting to know her, I realized that’s her sign of excitement! When she’s looking forward to something, she marches in place. It’s the cutest thing! Potato is a mini-rat, so she is a bit smaller than her sisters, so when they play fight, Potato always ends up on the bottom, belly up, squeaking like she is about to be murdered! By the way, she is totally fine …. she’s just very vocal. “No oatmeal this morning? SQUEAK! Please don’t touch my belly, I’m insecure! SQUEAK! Did you move my Treat Pillow??? SQUEAK!!!” It’s a lot of sassiness. But at the same time, she is the gentlest #rattie I’ve ever had! When she nudges for my attention, she softly licks my hand. Or when I give her a treat, she takes it gently so as to not hurt me. Little noises and movements scare her so much, she oftens runs into my shirt to hide when the world is frightening. So every day, I speak to her softly, give her gentle kisses and I let her know there is nothing to be afraid of. Look at that sweet face! It’s okay sweet Potato, you are safe with me… always. Now let’s see how she handles the 4th of July fireworks! Stay safe #rattie friends! ❤️🐭💙🎉 * * https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOyI59gfVz/?igshid=1n5adl0jinifj
