So I have a rattie who is 8 months old (Daisy) & a rattie who is 4 months (cheerio) & Cheerio is growing out of the cage she is in so I need to move her into the bigger cage with Daisy. I tired housing them together once before and they were fine during the day or while the light was on but once I turned the light off they were squabbling more roughly than usual, there was lots of squeaking, and I got nervous so I took cheerio out. They play together on neutral territory all the time & are very familiar with eachother. I would say that Daisy is the dominant one because she's older but she's only rough with Cheerio when she gets annoyed with her, it's like shes showing cheerio what's okay and not okay.
I want to know if there's anything to do to make the move-In more friendly & safe. I've read that putting vanilla extract on their rumps & thoroughly cleaning the cage before putting them back in it, but is there anything else that would help in the beginning?
I'm worried that they won't be able to live together because They don't get along
