You have some really gorgeous rats there. <3

Guys, I'm super excited. My two rats might be getting a new buddy soon! I fell in love with this little guy below after seeing his picture online and I'm in the process of buying him.
He's already been nicknamed "Scar" by the breeder, since he was very unfortunately scratched by a cage mate when younger and now has a scar on his head. I think that I'll keep his name as that even though it doesn't really go with my other current pet rodents' names (Victor, Edwin, and Thomas). He's also apparently a complete sweetie who loves to be cuddled. So, the edgy name is kind of hilariously ironic. lol
Scar is around the same age as my two boys and so I'm really hoping that they'll get along nicely. Any tips on how to introduce a new rat? I have another cage set up near the main one that he'll be kept in temporarily. So, they'll be able to smell and see each other. Then I was thinking about introducing them together after a few days on my couch or somewhere else that's neutral ground. Anything else that I can do to make the process go smoothly?
