I had a rat with similar colouring to Smoezie's. She had dark red eyes and also did the head sway thing. I had her from 6 weeks old, til she died at 22 months old. She was actually quite a bit more agile than my other 2 rats and I never even thought to do anything different for her care. I did notice that as she got older she didn't sway her head as much as when she was a baby, and I assume that was from her becoming familiar with her environment.
I can't comment on doing intros with red eyed rats as she passed away before her cagemates and I never had to do intros with her. I don't imagine it would be much different though. Her nose will tell her what's up
Good luck with the new babies!
