So I know this might look weird to some of you and think I might need to take lil Sally here to the vet, but this is a good thing! When rats eye boggle it means they're super happy! When rats brux, they're grinding their teeth down, this is natural and healthy for the rat. A rat's jaw muscles are connected to their eye muscles and so if they brux super hard their eyes pop out a little. In order to do this the rat has to brux pretty hard, so you know they're doing on purpose to show how happy they are. So I'm super happy to witness this and show it to everyone!
