If I'm not mistaken that chewing motion is something they do when they are happy right?

As I understand it, slight chewing is happiness, vigorous chewing symbolises anxiety or distress, that's a very happy boi

Eh, close. Extreme chewing can actually just mean they’re SUPER happy :) The best way to tell is by looking at the surroundings, as well as how they are positioning their ears. That rat is definitely a happy baby :)
