    For some reason, I didn’t realize that Cyclone was a full-on younger/babier rat (just thought she was simply a new rat about the same age as Cin and Cape) and so I was not prepared to see how much smaller she looks compared to Cin and Cape 🥺💕💕

      Rats pick their alpha by whoever is the biggest diva tbh so it's common for it to not be the toughest or most able. Kind of just another odd thing about them compared to other animals

    The amount of POOF in Cape, oh my gosh. Still, I'm glad she went back to curiosity after a bit of posturing/dominating her sister. Threatened, but also curious as hell. A good sign, overall!

    The point about a glove or a towel for separatibg cannot be overstated. The only times I have ever been bitten have been when I've pushed a bare hand into the middle of a fight to break it up. They're amped, defensive and ready to scrap, so someone pushing into the middle of the mess suddenly absolutely will be taken the wrong way.
    Use anything but a bare hand to separate them. They don't mean anything bad by it, but rat bites really hurt if they get spooked.

      I can confirm this. I keep pet mice and once had to break up a fight between my alpha girl Pippi and one of the newbies, Ruby. Absolutely learned the hard way not to push in with a bare hand, as Pip gave me a pretty nasty bite that bled/hurt like heck for the next few minutes lol, she was so riled up. So yeah, definitely using a glove next time!

    Cage neighbours is definitely the best start, I’ve found (after 26 pet rats of my own) it always takes longer to introduce one baby, as opposed to two babies, they’ll be extra nervous when the inevitable dominance hierarchy wrestling matches happen!
    Keeping them as cage neighbours for a solid week definitely sounds like a good plan, I personally never attempt it any sooner, only baby rat to baby rat introductions have ever been quicker than that.
    I’ve actually never had a blind rat do this process before so that’ll be interesting to see if there’s any unique complications regarding that. I presume at worst it’ll just slow progress down, I’ve had “difficult personalities” in previous pet rats that required the new rats being cage neighbours for three full weeks, but they were besties later on once they finally trusted the newcomers, so just go by whatever pace your rats seem to need! 😊

    When I got my 3rd rat after my 1st one's pal died, I was going to take it slow and it was going good so far, except when I placed the cages next to each other for a while and the new one kept biting the damn bars trying to get to the other rat. It was stressing me out and one day I had enough of them trying to knaw out of their cages to get to one another, so I just plopped the new one in with my older one and went to bed. Turns out it went very well, and now they're best buds, have never seriously fought and are always cuddling 😊Still 1000% recommend doing a slow method and I will do the same for the next rat I am getting soon 😊😊

    I just hang a small bird cage on the side of the big cage and put the baby rat in there.
    After 1-3 days I put the big rats in the small cage one at a time to meet the little one.
    This is because rats won't fight in new enclosed spaces, makes them feel at a disadvantage.
    Leave them in there for a minute until they are trying to run from the baby rat.
    Do this step about 5 times.
    Within 1-3 days the smells will be mixed and danger over.
    Put the new rat in big cage to play and if one rat gets into a dominance battle one of the females will usually grab the baby rat and run off with it to keep it safe acting like its mother.

    I had two rats, one died, so I got a baby rat as a new partner and my method was: took the baby, put it in front of Elton and said: "Here you have a new Patner, Elton". Elton being an old (2yrs) rat didn't give a fuck. He just wanted to be left alone (I guess mourning his old partner Ash), but he sometimes bonded with Chipilín. Then I got another baby rat, Elton kept his attitude, Chipilín liked his new friend (they are almost the same age). By the final months of Elton's life, the three of them got along pretty well. I guess I was lucky??

      Nope, Cyclone can definitely see! Having red eyes doesn’t necessarily mean that the rat is blind, Cape just happens to be. Having red/pink eyes does mean that their eyesight is worse than other rats though, but that doesn’t affect a rat much because their eyesight isn’t great to begin with. ❤️
