Hey all..
So we got 2 new rats boys.. adopted them from a woman who didnt want them any more. We named them Whiskers and Robin (like batman and robin cause he climbs all over the cage and will swing from the bars too... ) She said they are about 7 months old. We started trying to introduce them them to Hector. At first they would all get excited and smell each other.. and Hector would be all interested and smell back.. Then Robin one day either nipped or swatted at Hector. Now when I try to put them together Hector freezes in place.. like he is scared stiff... That was a few days ago.. They seem to be getting better.. But I am nervous about letting them play together.. I dont want them to fight.. So I let them all out on the bed and let the new boys get near Hector but not on top of him...I put thier cages next to each other so they can small each other. .. What do you think of all this? I can do a video tonight and post it so you can see wha I am talking about.
