  2. Rat Behavior
    Hi, I have two rats, both male and about 9 months to 1 year. At the beginning of the year I separated them because one of them was injuring the other, biting him til he bit the tip of his nail off. Whenever I let the other free roam (the none aggressive one) and he walks up to his cage (the...
  3. Rat Behavior
    I’ve had 8 rats, but I’ve (luckily) never had to deal with an aggressive rat. Yesterday, one of my babies passed away. I don’t want Houdini (my surviving baby) to be alone, so I got two new rats. They’re being kept separately - the kicker is that even the two new rats have to be separate...

    So, I adopted my rat, Attila, from a lady on craigslist who was rehoming two of hers. I could see from the photos she posted of their setup that they weren't being taken of properly. Because of this I was expecting some skittishness and even mild aggression when first meeting them, but I was...

  8. Rat Behavior
    I've had several rats in my life with varied backgrounds, but I've never had a biter. I rescued 3 girls from a lady who had a few to many litter. She seems to be territorial over her cage and cage mates at times. For example I could be petting someone else and she'll come over to me and bite me...

    I currently own 3 boys and 2 girls (housed separately). I have had my boys for the longest but recently one of the boys (Teemo) has started acting quite aggressive to the other two (biting ears and scratching). I have separated him from the other two and have tried to re-introduce them multiple...
