can medium rats and large(dumbo) rats live together?because i have a medium one who needs a friend and i love the bigger ones so i just want to make sure.i wont if i cant i dont mind.thanks for ur help much appreciated!!
Edit: Also, I'm going to assume you're purchasing your rats from Petco or similar pet store, and they sell their rats as different sizes: Small/Medium/Large. This is most commonly just an age difference, not a size difference. If you purchase a 'small' rat it may very well grow to be as big as or bigger than the 'large' rats for sale. They separate them in these sizes for people who purchase them to feed to their reptiles. :?
just double check that the smaller rat will not be able to squeeze through the bars on the larger rat's cage. They should get along fine once they sort out who's the alpha.
You should not jsut throw them in the cage together please follow proper introductions so that nothing happens while you are no looking. There is a chance that they could severly harm each other.
They'll tell you rexes are larger too. Just depends which employee you get, really. Some know their stuff, some make things up on the spot.
