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

[Miss Z]

One thing I would look out for in their temporary accommodation is that the larger rats don't bully the smaller ones, wth regards to food and space.

I think in general male rats, from what I've seen, tend to get on better with each other than female rats do! When they're in their new, more spacious cages, I wouldn't worry too much about them fighting. Yes, it's a possibility, but a relatively unlikely one at that, and neutering them, whilst lessening the chance further, does stress both them and your pocket! Of course if you plan on keeping a female with them then I'm sure you would know to get the males neutered, probably even with an older female, as the male could make her life a misery trying to mate with her.

They are all lovely - congratulations on your new additions!

Orange rats!! You've been holding out orange rats on me!! Send them to me!!!Only one of my males has had to be seperated ever. Try to replace your solid metal cages with powder-coated when you can. I see the metal has quite a bit of acid buildup from urine and metal can get pretty nasty and start causing bumblefoot and wearing away. You don't want the rats chewing on that.

Bump, please see the main post. I'm also willing to give away the two tan rats in the first picture if they go as pets.

*sigh* I miss my ratties.... They are so precious, I'd love to help you with a couple of them if I was in a better position to do so.

I'd take an orange if I were closer. Its a good thing I'm far away because I have 10 of my own and 7 fosters right now.

Ah, how cute is that. Do you feed them cucumbers? Alicia's girls love them and grandma always give them some.

I would take a couple off your hands if I could. I really like Pinky! ADORABLE! I miss my ratties so much! Good luck finding them homes and good luck with the new big cage. Like what was said before, tanks are NOT a suitable home for rats for obvious reasons.
