*gone* Keeping male rats together *now with PICTURES*

Thanks for all the info. I bet my dad would let me actually neuter one pet male, which I'm assuming is easier than spaying a female.

Both of my ratties were adult males and were the best of friends. I think if they are raised together and have a big enough cage to provide adequate space for each they should be fine.

Good to know. I'll be looking around goodwill for a nice wire cage to take home and disinfect. I took some pics, I guess I'll edit this thread here with them.

That cage looks small for so many ratties or did I miss something...?

Tanks are no option for rats no matter the size. Ventilation is poor and it is bad for their respiratory system.

Males can live together and many of them do. Some have some problems and as others mentioned neutering can help. But they should not live alone unless you have tried everything with no success and even then sometimes it is just some rats will only get along with one certain rat.
