Hi! I'm looking for commentary from a U.S.-based veterinarian on different rat sounds and what they mean.
Questions include:
1. How do rats use sounds to communicate with other animals and us humans?
2. Please note what the following noises sound like (e.g. What is chirping exactly?) and what each means (i.e. Is it good/they’re happy? Does it mean a vet visit is in order? Are they in pain, bored etc.?)
- Chirping
- Squealing
- Chittering
Thank you in advance! 😊
*Please note: Only original responses from U.S.-based veterinarians who have experience with rats will be considered; I'm unable to interview any spokespeople for competing pet brands or use AI-generated responses from sources.
