If you've noticed your rat kind of chattering its teeth or sort of grinding them, its nothing abnormal. When they do that its just sharpening their teeth, and making sure they don't over grow.

You might have also noticed a sort of red-crust around your rats eyes when they wake up when you come to visit them. That is nothing to worry about. Rats have a red pigment in their tears, so all that it is, is dried up tears. Nothing to worry about. If you don't like the way it looks, (I don't) just very gently rub them off.
hey my rat has scabs on her neck area.

I have 2 albino rats from a lab. Rats have something called porphyrin, and its a redish pigment. Its really evident on my girls because they are white so when they are in stressful situations they get pink stains usually between their shoulder blades. It usually goes away in a few days but the crusty stuff on their eyes and nose happens more often and just rubs off really easily.
