The padlock idea is a good one, thanks wolf_q, I'll try that

I couldn't find any rat food And when I asked what it consists of before, no one answered me... But I just replaced last weeks food yesterday, so I will tell you what I put in their food box:
Rice cakes, muffets, bran, rice, swirly pasta, oatmeal, bread crusts, whole wheat crackers, unsweetened granola, dog buiscuts, and I also have a bag of seeds (with no corn or alfalfa) and I give them yogurt in the morning and they get veggies during the day and in the evening (yesterday I gave them half a baby carrot each, a tiny piece of brocolli and a tiny piece of green pepper (Icarus only likes the carrots though)) and I give them a piece of meat..yesterday they got smoked turkey lol


It is true about Frisco not liking Icarus ...I thought when I was getting Icarus I was getting Frisco a friend...I waited the proper two weeks of quarantine, and introduced them on neutral ground with their scents covered and all the nessecary things that I read about...But Frisco didn't even give me a warning...no raised fur or anything, he just lunged...He ripped off all of the skin on Icarus's shoulder, and you could see his muscle and some bone They were making steady progress and would sleep together only beside the computer, when my mother ordered that they were not to be by the computer...So now they don't exactly like eachother..



Sometimes the best thing for an agressive rat is to have it put down, especially if it is NOT neutered. The best thing for the animal would be to put it to sleep, where it could at least die peacefully, the way they are meant to
I agree. If I gave Frisco up and he attacked someone, he would most likely be put down anyways But I am going to neuter him before I do anything else.

This was my ultimatem: Put down or neuter.


My brother is almost five. I don't think that he's mean to them, but he does drive ME crazy when he's around Frisco...When my mother isn't home, I let Frisco run around (Shhh don't tell ) and Dawson (my brother) follows him around the entire time!
I think that Frisco may be jealous of Icarus...He never ever had aggressive behaviour until the day Frisco and Icarus met

I hadn't even thought age, thanks for bringing it up Luckies4me...Frisco was a year old on February 28th... I guess this means bad chances?
Now I want to put up the pics of his birthday party *sigh*
Anyways, Luckies4me, I sent you a pm, but I hevn't checked to see if youv'e sent anything back, so I will look right now..
Thanks for everyones help, don't worry Jynnelle, I'm not going to put down Frisco
