my 3 new young rats (black and white ones, bandit and cosmo the white and tan one, macchiato) meeting my 2 older rats(black one twiddle dee, white one twiddle dum)
i think they did pretty good, they were in there for about an hour and a half and there was just little scuffles mostly from when macchiato was trying to hump everyone in there
twiddle dee, and twiddle dum came from feeder tanks together, machiatto was the last one petsmart had, and cosmo and bandit were from a different petsmart
yeah i never thought i would end up with that but i got them a nice big cage 5 story with lots of room and my kids love playing of them so they get plenty of time to play
so update on the rat intro, the got their second meeting cause they all started playing in their own cages thought it would be ok to have them see each other again, they played for a while then machiatto got nipped for trying to hump my biggest one, now they are all playing but he is standing in the corner and wont move all the other rats come over and see him but he has his defensive posture up even to the other 2 babies he lives with but once the big ones are gone he calms down and plays again
and im suprised at this cause this is only their second meeting, and after a while of playing the older rats got tired and started getting comfy like to go to sleep and comso and bandit went to lay with them too
Aww, well that will work out nice, if Machiatto ends up with the younger rats, since he sort of stays by himself when he is with the older boys. It is nice that you are keeping in touch with your wife on how the ratty kids are doing while you are gone.
so the rats are still going good with the meetings, one of the black and white one rolls over on his back when hes around the big ones, the other black and white one goes and plays with them and tries to wrestle with them but hes alot smaller, and macchiato still just stands by him self
