Kis Kis loves to nibble but never draws blood, so i'm wondering what does it mean, should i be concerned?What does it mean if your rat nibble you abit now and then but never really draws blood?
Kis Kis is showing affection by grooming you. This is a high complement, no cause for concern.What does it mean if your rat nibble you abit now and then but never really draws blood?
How old is Kis Kis? If they are a young rat, they could just be 'mouthing' you - checking out how things feel and taste with their mouth, like any other young animal.
My rats also love to 'clean' my fingernails, by chewing very gently on them (they never break them), or sometimes tasting my skin if it's sweaty, or I've put moisturiser or ointment on.
If your rat isn't drawing blood or hurting you, I wouldn't be concerned at all.
Nothing to worry about. Your rat either smells food on your hands and fingers or she is grooming you. Rats show affection by grooming. As long as she's not drawing any blood or causing you pain, there's nothing to worry about. You could begin teaching her to stop but she's being gentle so just enjoy it =)
AWWW Kis Kis is showing you love. Male cats bite a lot because that's their way of showing love. Just make sure your hand does NOT smell like food-it will NOT know the difference and could draw blood. My bunny loves to nibble, but, mainly lick me. She has her own salt wheel, but she is very affectionate to me when I am singing to her.
The rat is probably just cleaning off your dead skin. This is a sign that your rat thinks of you affectionately. Rats groom other rats that are in their colony. So no, dont worry, this is a good hting =]
Hope this helped =]

Young rats do this and it's called mouthing- much like a dog.
Older rats do it and they are just grooming you and showing affection.
Just giving you you love kisses
