Yes, you should buy a bigger cage, my rat loves hers. She doesn't run on her wheel so at least she gets exercise running up and down all around her cage [ three stories ]

Harriette is adorable! ^^

This is my Jakey boy, he's on his own at the moment because his brother died last year, so I was thinking of maybe introducing a new rat? I'm not sure about it though, it'd take a lot of time and they may not get on ...



Jake's on the left and his brother, Wilbur is on the right <333

Thanks C=

I want to get another rat for Harriette, I know she would get along well with a new rat because she gets along well with my friend Catdaddy~'s rat. I'm scared the other rat won't like her though, and she could get very hurt with no fur to protect her D=

Rats should not be kept alone, and I'm sure Harriette and Jake would both love a companion. If you follow proper introduction and QT procedures, they should get along just fine.

If you're really worried about Jake (since males can be hard to intro to eachother) you can get a doe and have her spayed. I intro'd a spayed doe to my boys back when I only had two and they were absolutely smitten with her.

I've done a lot of introductions and never had it fail when I was patient. One time my older male attacked (truly attacked, going to hurt, not just dominance scuffle) the two new males, who were young brothers, but I shuffled some stuff around and worked with them and now Romeo and the two boys get along wonderfully.

Also, going to post this site again- ratforum.com

Go read the intro and quarantine stickies.

Thanks for all the information, Moonfall ^^.

Yes, I had thought of getting a spayed female rat, and I think I actually might now. I'll have a look at some websites about introducing new rats too, thanks again :3
