You would think I would know where to put this.

Just too good to not post... not sure what is going on there (but yeah, that cage is way too small for 4 rats). I assume Becky, Franky, or Connie might know what is up with these two?

Judging from the vid... and the surprise guest that appears at 3:07... I think they may be a grey female and black male?

form the looks of it, looks like one waiting for other ot make move for dominance. you see teeth chattering in a defensive way. so my guess is since the cage is soo small their pissed. the ears are also pulled back like a cats would be

They are dumbo eared rats so that ear placement is normal actually.

As far as the stance, it's likely dominance though I've seen females stand up like that and stare at a male trying to get "friendly" with them when they weren't really all that interested in him at the moment. I hope those rats are not living in that tiny cage and it's only some sort of holding temp cage.
