Original video credit: @nicolas.cses Rodents naturally test tension and texture with their incisors before gnawing. Notice how this little pet gently explores the drawcord without biting through—a behavior known as soft mouthing. Unlike stress-induced or defensive biting, this gentle interaction is a classic indicator of comfort, safety, and strong bonding with the handler.
