I really think I should get a buddy for my single rat, Remy. The problem is, last time we tried an introduction he was very aggressive to the other rat, so he ended up staying alone. I know that rats are always supposed to be kept in pairs or more... but would Remy want to be kept with another rat if they kept on fighting?
If the supposed new rat didn't end up getting along with Remy I don't know what we would do... the spare cage is way too small for any rat to live in permanently.
When (if I can) get another rat is there a certain age that would make them get along better? Remy is currently 7 or 8 months old, so would another male about the same age give them the best chance to get along?
I can tell that Remy is quite bored when someone's not playing with him, no matter what enrichment goes into the cage.
Any advice is very welcome.
