Title: Is she eating my hair?
Post by: ~Lilly's mama~ on April 23, 2002, 06:39:47 PM
Lilly likes to go behind my neck.  I have long hair and wear it in a long braid.  She kinda crawls into my hair, and I hear this munchy sound.  Is she eating my hair?  Is that ok?  Will it hurt her?  

TIA!!

awwwww .... she's bruxing!!!  that's the sound they make when either quite content or scared.  If she's cuddled up in your hair, she's probably QUITE content!  Sounds like you're welll on your way to some very happy ratties ... and those who are owned by them!
