This has been my experience with all of my rats, as I have long hair. Its their security. They are getting to know your smell, and soon will be exploring, and then running back to you. Enjoy this time! My rats are a year old and still will hide in my hair, and sometimes even chew on it, but I make the same noise they do when they fight, so they are now conditioned, lol. They will bond very quickly, so dont worry. Rats are very good at sensing worry or fear. When I cry...my rats lick the tears off my face-they know, I swear! Take special care sweetie, as you are in for a real pleasant journey.:heart:
Hugs,
