Female Rat question?

Question

My Rat the other day was on my bed with me while i was watching tv. She was running around and she kept running over my arm and my legs and she left urine or somthings clear all over the place. What is she doing? I think shes trying to mark her territory but im just not sure. please explain more to me. thank you

Answer 1

yea she was probably marking her territory, does she go on your bed a lot? also, are you 100% sure its a female? i only say that bcuz i've heard that males leave urine trails sometimes, buti've never heard of females doing that. anyway, i'm sure its nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

Rats will urinate as they walk. Basically they do not hold it in or wait until they get to a certain spot, they just go anywhere. it could be scent marking, but most likely she just has to go.

Answer 3

yes, she is marking her territory.it also shows that urine soaked trail is safe for other rats too.also thier digestive system is very quick like.ferrets are little c**p bags,daughter had one,they are fun,but the smells and the crappin evry 30 mins.lol

Answer 4

You hit the nail on the head. The little dribbles as she goes is scent marking. Males do it more, but females will do it as well.
