It is a very good thing when a rat grooms. It means she/he is comfy in her/his new home.

( And it's also like taking a bath for them.) Also, if your rat falls asleep on you or almost does then it means that you bonded so keep it up!

To keep themselves clean. Rats groom themselves like a cat, but they don't get hair balls. They also do it to keep from smelling etc.
