Perhaps it is completely natural, but my two rats Darla and Annika are both female, but in the last 2 days Annika has been biting Darla's scruff and trying to mount her. They then get into a heated battle and Darla flips her over and holds her down in typical dominance routine. Otherwise, they are perfectly happy and get along wonderfully together. This has happened once or twice previously, but I've never actually observed the attempt at mating before this. Should l I be concerned, or is this just because they are not spayed and coming into heat? Thanks for any help!
