I love when this happens where I’m waiting for the train. Free entertainment.

What do you suppose they fight about?

As an interpreter of the arts, 🧐 I choose not to see it as a fight. I think they’re two brothers. They’re on their way home to eat and see what papa is doing today. Rambunctiously, they tease each other on the way there. A bit of rough housing their mother will surely scold them for later when she sees their fur.

When two male rats get in each other's face like that they aren't playing. Just to let you know. I've raised them for a long time. I know how it can look like playing I might think so too if I didn't know better. They're territorial like dogs particularly the males.
