[QUOTE="bre, post: 2610558, member: 208847"] If they're both males I wouldn't even try it. If you want a pair of male rats it's best to get them together when they're both young..otherwise it almost never works out and they'll attack each other. Females are a completely different story. First of all do NOT just throw them in a cage together, or they WILL fight! You want to introduce them in a neutral area like a bathtub, where they can get used to each others scents, then if they get along you have to completely clean the cage & everything inside of it..then move them in but keep an eye on them for about 20 minutes. Little fights now and then are okay to assert dominance..but don't allow nasty fights to happen! [/QUOTE]
