Comfort her as in cuddle? A lot? I don't know...
Your girl rat's nMe is shark? Cool!

[color=#0000FF]Have you ever tried to give them a piece of food while you clip their nails? It would keep their faces. Busy

i do, but then they ignore it when i start clipping...they don't bite, though. It's the sqirming i am having trouble with

Oh. I bathe my rat in our shower/bath tub so she climbs up my arm like a squirrel and dives down my shirt yes my rat crawls down my shirt. .it's not as bad as you would think...[/color]

My sister's rat, Truffles, crawls down her shirt and mine too, when I'm holding her. XD
It actually isn't that bad.. o.o

Our rats hate bathtime. We only gave them a bath once, and my legs were scratched up for days. They really wanted out.. oAo
I wish rats liked baths. >A<

{Same with my rats, they're always going down my shirt, especially when something scares them.}
{I'm about to go into panic mode; earlier, when I checked on my boys, there was something that looked like blood in their bedding. I checked both Remy and Bowser over, in case they had gotten into a fight, but there weren't any wounds at all. They had been fine when I had had them on my shoulder an hour before, but... I don't know what's up. There weren't any traces of anything red on either one of them, and they didn't have any red food or even anything red in the cage. And their droppings are perfectly normal. What's going on?}

Sometimes when rats are stressed a red fluid leaks from their noses(not blood, called "phyla-" something) and they tend to wipe it off onto things. Mine does it when I put him away because he doesn't have a cagemate and gets lonely.

{You're probably right. But there's quite a bit of it, for just what little bit I've seen Remy have. It's only a few droplets at a time. There's more there than that.}
{But if it is that, they're probably stressing each other out, or the heat is getting to them. Most likely a bit of both. When I have them on my shoulders, they just go climbing over top of each other when they want to move, and they spend some time pinning each other down when they're in their cage. And this heat, it's getting to everyone. It's unbearable. Even the bugs won't come out.}

I am sooo relieved to hear other people's rats go down their shirts.
And yeah, their fur like slides....

{Okay, now I am in panic mode. Both of my rats have eye discharge, they're pretty sluggish, and Bowser... well, he was licking me and leaving blood[?] behind. He's kinda... spitting it up. But there isn't anything dripping from his mouth... is he bleeding internally? I'm just freaking out here .n.}

It tickles me, unless she goes down by crawling. Then her claws rake my back.. And I can feel the sting for a few minutes afterwards. >A<

{Well, he seems to be fine now... we think he just may have hurt his tongue. I checked on them a few minutes ago, and there didn't seem to be any more blood, or whatever it was. But they're fine, for now.}
{Those two... they know how to scare me x3}
