So while I've been dealing with some things, the last two days with Beau here have been pretty nice. He's very very skittish, but calms if you've held him for over 20 minutes or so. He jumps at every unexpected sound and freaks out if Jezebel comes near (she's curious and actually kinda motherly).
However, Loki brought Goliath out and was giving him out time on his chair and letting Jezebel near and everything and since we moved quick before we got Beau to the rescue or a home, they are now in the same airspace so any possible contagion is already well... possible.
Goliath is a very chill rat and is somewhere over a year old and hasn't had another rat companion since I've ever heard. He has a scar on his side and a missing finger to say that's not true, but he's somewhere over a year. Very chill and deserves a buddy.
Since they are already now in the same airspace and Beau is around the age that I was curious to see would work with Goliath, I sat next to Loki in a computer chair and Goliath got curious and sniffed around him. No puffing. No hissing. No big bad reactions.
And it got Beau's attention. He peeped out from in my spare tank top he was cuddled into in my lap and was curious about Goliath and almost went into Loki's lap, but Loki had Jezebel and Hunter in there as well so that was a no.
No hissing. No puffing. No outward signs of aggression or fear. Just curiosity.
Beau is around the fur-molty stage so he's not old at all. Nervous and scared of humans for the most part, but he looked like he wanted to snuggle up to Goliath.
Thoughts?
