Why do rats make weird noises?

Like is it them communicating? Because I have ONE rat, so I’m not sure why it would need to talk D: and she just makes random noises when shes in her cage, and i’ll take her out to play with her and she still makes those noises.

Answer #1

the rat might have mycoplasmosis and the sound is probably becuz there is congestion in the nose/lungs. its possibly an infection but i dont know much else about the subject.

Answer #2

They are very social, so that is most likely what they noises are - they do this fairly often with humans as well as other rats. Just make sure the rat isnt wheezing which can be a sign of illness. Wheezing usually is rhythmic, occuring in time with the breathing and it happens when the rat is awake and asleep.

Answer #3

There is no wheezing! Which is good! Thankyou for your answer :D
