    Hello, I am currently watching my friends two rats, and I have their cage right next to the cage with my three little rats. I would like to let them meet, however the problem is they are about twice the size of my rats. They are interested in each other and sniff each other through the cage...

    Hello, I just got my rat Lamarr on September 1st (21 days ago from now). We do not know how old she was because she was a feeder rat (the breeder wasn’t getting back to us) but she was a small, fluffy little ball. She was generally calm and I would stream with her on my shoulder on Twitch while...

    I just got Ivar about a week and a half ago. He is coming out of his cage to play and coming to the bars for treats. He let me pick him up without squeaking so i tried introducing him to my other rat Sten. They stared at each other for a few minutes, then Sten charged him and started wrestling...

    Hello, it's been awhile since I made a post, after I lost Enderman I was at a loss, as she was a very special rat. Anyways, I ended up going back to the same place I bought Enderman (they tend to house rats by size, not gender) and like Enderman, my new older female (Name is Dirt) was housed...

    Hello everyone! Recently I brought back home a new 1.5y female rat and been doing the slow introductions. I have three rats already, one at 2y7m and two at 6m. Older and one of the younger rats got along pretty well, no fighting and even cuddling together a bit. But one of younger, the one thats...

    Now before I get into this yes, I know that rats are social creatures and can get depressed when they're alone. However, I feel this might be an exception. So I work at a pet store that sells feeder rats. But I've grown really attached to one little guy. I want to take him home but I'd only be...

    It's been about 5 weeks since my rat Baby's bff, Bean, passed away. Our new girl Freyja was quick to join us and the introduction process went fine--Baby accepted her without issue. Freyja is younger and much more active (and chaotic!) so I'm not sure if that could be a factor here. Baby still...

    Hi friends. My rat Bean passed away recently, which has been very hard on both myself and her BFF, Baby. Baby is younger and I knew she'd probably need a friend eventually, but now I'm worried I did it too soon. I found a lone female rat (younger than Baby) in need of a home, so I adopted her...

    Hi all! I am new here and looking forward to talking about rats with all of you (especially my sweet little boy Arthur). I am new-ish to having a rat buddy. When I was a teenager I had rats but my mom was severely allergic to them so I haven’t had them again until now. I am so happy to have him...

    Hello! I have a 2 year old Rex rat, he is healthy and active. His brother died not too long ago and I plan to bring in some new company for him. I searched and I think it would be best to bring in 2 rats rather than one, or what do you think? I was gonna get maybe a rat around the same age but I...

    I recently had a rat die, and I am now left with a single rat. He is a aggressive to humans, but fine with other rats. The rats we would be introducing are two 1 year old rats, and our current boy is 1.5-2. Any tips on how to introduce them, and how to make out new boys feel welcome. Thanks for...

    One of my rats (Jasper) just died Friday, and I am wondering what to do with his brother Cookie Dough. For some background, Cookie is in perfect health and around 1.5 years old, and has some aggression issues to humans, though he is fine with other rats. I don’t know when or even if I should get...

    Hi all! New rat owner here. My boyfriend and I got our three girls last Friday. They are about 12 weeks old and very sweet! two of them are a lot more interested in us than the third, but still won’t let us really pet them. They will sniff and climb on our hands, but that’s about it. I see a lot...

    Hi! So I just bought my rat Remi last week. I have tried to socialize with her but every time I try she just bites my fingers instead of the food. I have a big latched door and when I go to open it she climbs up it and bites me. I can’t even open it without her trying to bite and/or escape. I...

    Hello! Two weeks ago, I adopted a third rat, Himbus, as a new buddy for my current boys Gobbles and Scrumps. Himbus was fine when I first met him and I thought it was him being cuddly (my boys are very friendly and will try to get on the shoulders of bre people they meet) when the lady I got him...

    Hi! I had a male rat who unfortunately passed away in December. We had the best bond as I rehomed him but he lived by himself. I have just bought a new little female, had her home 4 days and she still isn't the most sociable. I got her from pets at home and she was the only one left. They say...
