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.
