So i tried putting them in the same cage and it went terribly. Olaf liked the new cage and was exploring and while he did that i put in Sten. Then Sten saw him and ran around the cage trying to give kisses while Olaf was darting around the entire cage crying. Sten isn't trying to hurt him. Honestly i really think Sten has pretty much accepted him as part of the mischief since he is so happy to have another friend. The rat breeder really wasn't telling me something about this guy, he is like just too scared of other rats because of his brothers beating up on him. I really need them in the same cage by the 26th because i am going to be out of town for awhile in Orillia and my parents and sister will have to take care of them while i am gone for 3 days. I am taking motorcycle safety and it is a long waiting list so i really can't rebook or anything. I need this course really badly so i can get my motorcycle insured which i need badly.
When to put them in the same cage?

Meet Olaf Haroldsson
The previous rattery i went to go get Sten when Harry died has been closed and i can't get a hold of the woman who ran it. So i decided to go to another rattery further out of the way. I was going to get a baby for 50 but she said she had some older boys for 40 instead and since my job paid me...

So Olaf has been here almost a week and has finally settled down enough for me to pick him up and pet him. So i tried introducing him to Sten. Sten is normally a big sweetheart, he is the most affectionate rat i ever had. When i put both of them on the bed, after Sten noticed him he immediately...

I can try something like the carrier method in a big pink bin that is too tall for them to climb out of on their own. I honestly think it is just Olaf, he just gets way too scared because he was bullied by his brothers. He came to me with a scar on his ear from his brothers.
Yeah, poor Olaf does seem to be a naturally frightened little fellow. I think the carrier method is the best option. Good luck with him and with your motorcycle matters!Meet Olaf Haroldsson

Well done!
Some rats are so vocal! I had a boy who was a screamer, even when nobody was touching he would scream like a pig. Never changed but I did see them sleeping and playing together so it was just his way of defending his food
