Video needs a voiceover by the honey badger guy.

Speaking as an ex professional rodent wrangler:

  1. A determined rat can put its teeth all the way through your finger/ear/nose/etc.

  2. Lab rats are mostly sweet-tempered critters. Mice, OTOH, are vicious bastards.

Yeah, I had a pet hamster as a kid and I couldn’t pick it up without it biting me. They sure weren’t “pinpricks” and it wasn’t even trying too hard - you’d notice those kinds of bites even if you were asleep, as they drew some serious blood.

My sister and I had gerbils when we were kids, and while they were usually even-tempered, they would let you know if you did something they didn’t like.
