Rats true biting force is from 0.8 to 2.8 lbs. But it depends how you mesure it. This mesurement tells how much weight their lower jaw can lift. But true pressure mesurement is in psi (pounds per square inch). A crocodile bite is about 5000 psi, very strong, but covers the area of the whole jaw, as thei bite with all their teeth. Rats however can separate their bite pattern at will. They can bite only with their incisors and they can even separate their lower incisors in a V shape up to an angle of 40 degrees. Also their incisors grow at a combined rate of 1.4 mm per day, and are kept very sharp by grinding them togheter. So the bite area in square inch being very tiny their bite can measure up to 7000 psi.

Put your rat's FAVORITE treat in your mouth. Then if your rat trys to take the treat from your mouth then don't let go of the treat. When your rat licks the treat give it to him/her. Do this many times until your rat gets the idea. Then sometimes your rat might lick your mouth in hopes of a treat. (This will not work with wild rats. Wild rats will most likely bite you.
