The recently my pet rat died and left his brother all alone that was reading on the internet. It's really great to get him some baby brothers so two rats and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to introduce them as safe as possible

as well as other tips for grieving rats because he just lost his cage mate

Joinrats.com has really great intro information- Introduce Rats to Rats

Then for grieving rats, you have to understand what they're going through. If he doesn't want to play or interact, understand that and leave him alone. Give him some time to grieve, that's basically all I know. Also, rats will grieve in different ways so keep that in mind

thank you
he is just acting tense but still playing
is it a good idea to bring baby rats?

Definitely, just make sure that he has time to grieve and the new babies have time to bond with you before you introduce them
