It was awesome! One even rolled over on its side to get belly rubs. Definitely would recommend for any animal lovers. :)

Yep, that's the one, I think there were even more cases like last week or something.

Still better to do what the OP did though. If you want to hug the oversized rodents, make sure that there’s people taking care of them, and ensuring that they’re OK.

Yeah, 100%. Being taken care they seem to be super chill and safe to interact with.
