Female rats and teeth grinding + whole body vibrating?

I have 2 female rats, one who constanlty makes the teeth grinding sound. i thought this was becasue she was happy, but she even does it while i bath her when she clearly does not like baths!





They both are so friendly and some times while climbing all over us my partner and i will rub and pat them they run off but always come back for more. When we rub them all over they vibrate, it is the funniest thing to watch and feel, their whole body does it. just wanting to know what this is and why they do it? I%26#039;m hoping its not because they are scared, they dont seem to be at all.

my mom actually just qot two rats. with rats you need to qet two of the same sex so i hope they are. but my moms pet rats death was qrindinq and body was shakinq and was sneezinq..she took it to the pet store and they said she was fine but my mom took it to a vet %26amp;%26amp; she has upper respiritory problems %26amp;%26amp; is sick.. they take them 4 10 daysz but come back so healthy..you jus need to brinq both to qet em checked out and clean out tank. rats are incredibly smart and will recoqnize you so they wont qet scared. but for the shakinq the rats still do it because they enjoy it so much and it qivesz them the chills or somethinq.





if the vet says that they are fine btw qet them more chewinq blocks..their teeth may be to lonq and they need to qet clipped so they are qrindinq them





hope this helps

Reply:The last time I had a rat that ground its teeth it went psycho and started trying to attack everything. I had to put her down.
