  • I documented the process of introducing my adult rats together (Sundae & Sprout + Badger and Moose)!
    The method that I used is the carrier method, watch my video on how to introduce rats here: bit.ly/2Tkxev3
    More info on the carrier method here: www.isamurats.co.uk/introducin...

      Innit the best to see two animals interact with each other? :) recently i introduced my two cockatiels to one another and its the best to observe how they give each other head scritches etc

      Robloxian Cousins I’m sorry you had to take your buddy back. But thank you for being responsible and taking him back. I know this horrible horrible woman that would’ve kept those Little guys together fighting just because she didn’t want to take the other back. You are a responsible and awesome owner!

    My heart explodes when I see cuddle piles. My two, Frieda and Petra, sleep on each other a lot. I’ve had them together for a month and they’re constantly boxing each other and wrestling. I think because Petra was smaller at the time she let Frieda be alpha but now she thinks she should be the boss because she’s bigger than her now. Frieda is my wild child while Petra is timid. They remind me of Tigger and Piglet.

    My girls are finally in the same cage!! I had one girl in particular that would attack the new girl over and over. It was all about dominance but the poor new girl was absolutely terrified after being jumped several times each session. I finally used the carrier/small cage method and after a day of being in the small cage they were sleeping and grooming!!! They’re all together now!

    Hey there,
    I just wanted to thank you so much for your videos. I got three boys last year (my first rats ever) and made lots of mistakes and ended up separating them because they were bullying and injuring each other and although I got the big two boys neutered, I haven't had the confidence to put them back together again in case they really hurt each other again. I didn't want them to be lonely though and after alot of research and watching your videos I tried the carrier method. They're now all back together in their newly made double feraplast cage (thanks for that video too) and they're having a blast sleeping together in their new hammocks and playing during their free roaming time. I still have a long way to go as a rat owner but your videos have made me better and made my boy's lives so much fuller. I can't thank you enough for all your videos and tips and tricks. Thank you so much! ♄

My DCN is split between the 4 I have. 3 on bottom and 1 on top.. I really want to intro them but am fearing the worst. They're all a little over a year and are intact.

    I had to put my Rat Prequelle to sleep today since she had a tumor in her abdomen (it was genetic ) and she was only 8 months old.
    The vet directly called a woman who's rat just had pups. I showed up to her house not even 5 minutes later and took one of the rats home. I was kinda nervous what Prequelle's sister (Meliora) would do when she saw Cirice, but she instantly started grooming her and keeping her warm while she slept. They made the entire day a little bit better.

    I remember introducing two rats to each other years ago. I pretty nervous especially when they both got a little tense... but in the end it all went well and the two became great friends.
    They were pretty different, one was a very small dark coloured rat who was pretty hyperactive and the other was a normal sized light coloured rat who was also blind and very calm. But they were both cuties, very social and like I said they became very good friends.
    I miss my girls. :(

    I’ve introduced a lot of baby girl pairs to adult girls over the years, and it’s always been easy although the time it takes has varied from a few days to 12 weeks. This time, for the first time ever I’m really nervous about it. My old girls are acting quite evil just upon _seeing_ the babies in a separate space. I am going to need to do the bathtub method, and I thank you for showing the process since I’ve never needed to alter my usual technique.

    I've had 3 situations where I was introducing babies to older rats & where the babies tried mounting My older Boys. And I've found it's nearly always the smallest Baby who does all the mounting & trying to play the big Man. It's quite funny. I had a male who had a chip on His shoulder about His size (it was a hormonal imbalance really) but the humping is normal. I don't know if You'll be getting them neutered but I do find it really helps as it cures all excess aggression & stops injuries & fights. I also find it helps with smell & obviously it prevents many cancers & extends their lives but yeah They're more mellow & laid back after being neutered.

      @rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543 Pƙed 4 lety

      @@ambriadanielsband4132 Although it's not been proven, many rescue centres , foster carers , owners & vets have found that Male rats almost always live far longer than their usual life expectancy after being neutered. I believe it's thought to also prevent cancers of the prostate & another cancer other than testicular but I will check with My Vet again on Monday as I can't remember which other cancer. There are 3 particular cancers that the risk is apparently vastly reduced for with the operation. Sorry 2 other than testicular I mean which obviously is eliminated. I can't remember if prostate cancer is eliminated or reduced risk but I'll ask Our vet on Monday. She specialises in rats. The only thing is, You have to watch out for weight gain with Neutered males. Males are quite prone to laziness anyway when They reach maturity & after neutering They tend to be higher risk of obesity. But I had 2 neutered Males who stayed a healthy weight & an un-neutered male who ended up obese so again nothing is set in stone

    I have 2 rats but have recently found out that it’s much much better for them to be in a group so I’m trying to convince my dad to let me get at least one (hopefully two) more! Wish me luck!

    I recently adopted two boys and tried having them in a big cage together.had a few rat ball moments ,but no blood. Im nervous to put them in a small cage since the younger one is a bit aggressive. They are fine in free range areas though,im confused on why being in a cage together is different. Any tips?
