As a general rule in bridge one tries to avoid rebidding unsupported 5 card suits unless partner has forced you (with e.g. a 2/1 bid, or a reverse by opener), and you don't have a reasonable alternative call. Partner, if 3-5 in the minors, will either have a 4 cd major to bid, or has a 1nt call.

It's normal and correct to pass your hand over 2c.
Not sure what "claim" means in your title; in bridge this refers to curtailing play, facing your cards to the opps (or virtually doing so if online), and stating a line for a certain number of tricks. In this case you probably mean more "should I rebid my suit?".

Just to expand a little bit on this further: the suit rebid by opener denied a 4 card side suit and a bal. hand,
hence showing a 6 carder. And since opener showed a 6 carder, if you rebid your suit, you are showing a 6 card suit
of your own.
With kind regards
