Rat helpplease
Thank you for taking good care of your ratties. They're great little pets.
Hey It's No*no
I think you should separate them for a little while. Put their cages next to each other, so they can get used to seeing each other. And when you think the time is right. Bring them back together. And it that doesn't work. You know what you have to do. My cousin had to fishes. A&B. A was very nice and sweet. B was the devil. Every time someone came close to the tank he rammed it. And he kept attacking A. My cousin said that eventually B would like A. But time pasted. And the attacks got more viscious. And one day my cousin woke up, and A was floating at the top of the tank. She was so heart broken. Then she gave B away. But do you see what I'm saying? Don't let the blood of a little rat be on your hands. Make the right decision. For your rats sake. P.S. E-mail me with your results. G.B.
You've already got some excellent advice here & I've never introduced boys (our boys are litter-mates).
I just wanted to mention that it took our hairless girl 2 weeks before she stopped huffing @ our hooded girl (when their cages were put side by side) although the hairless immediately became friends with our (much older) siamese girl.
