Love the ratties!
I had a rat once, called him Radar - he liked to swing his tail in a circle any time you held him.
All of rats always swing their tail, why? Because they are trying to balance themselves, their tail is balance for them.. When, they walk on the very thin of something that they walk on it so their tail will move in right way to making them balance same like, "When a dog runs too fast, it will use it's tail to balance when he run a sharp curve so it won't fall" same with cheetah.
Same with Rat's tail is cooling them off if they get too hot, same with Elephant's ears cool them off.
