Rats

Yeah he's a sweetie

 

I'm interested in getting another rat. Only when my mom talked the pet store woman she said that we'd have to find a rat as big, or almost as big as Mouse or he might kill it.
I was just wondering if this was true? Cause Mouse is pretty big (bigger then in the picture, he's a fat one) and I think it would be hard to find one around the same size.

 

Not sure what would happen. We always bought two baby rats, usually girls, but one was pregnant unbeknowns to us, so along came the boys. They grew up together, but used to have their squabbles, not bad, more like really rough play fighting. I was once told it wasn't a good idea to have two male rats together, unless they were of the same litter. Puck was the smallest of the boys and used to get picked on a bit. We eventually had to have him de-balled for his own good, then he lived in his own cage, but still saw his brothers at seperate playtimes. He wasn't fussed about them though, much more interested in the loves he got from my daughter. Maybe someone on here can be of more help.

 

Thanks for your help
