    Hi! I have two lovely brothers, and I've had them for just over a month. They're from the same litter, and have always gotten on really well (sleeping snuggling, playing, spending lots of time together). Over the last few days they've starting fighting a lot, and I don't think it's just...

    I have two female rats (Bean and Badger) that will both be 2 in November. They are sisters that are both spayed and have always been kept together and had no problems. Recently, Bean began obsessively chasing Badger and forcefully grooming her private parts. Badger squeaks while she does this...
