Cherry has some crazy boggles!
Looks like a happy ratty!
This is basically the rat equivalent of purring. Rats brux (grind their teeth) when they are happy and a side effect of when they vigorously do it is the eye boggle. This is because there’s a muscle that extends from the jaw beyond the rats eye sockets.
ft. several people being concerned as FUCK for this little rodent

it’s true, boggling is normal and healthy lol and it means the rat is happy. after having rats for a few years it doesn’t make me look up anymore, but this rat does do it more obviously then i’m used to seeing (Your picture was not posted)
