Is your rat relaxed, interested, anxious, getting scared, or ready to run for the hills? You can tell a lot by reading their body language and paying attention to their vocalizations.

If you have concerns, talk to your Fear Free certified veterinarian about ways to reduce that stress level, especially for veterinary visits.
