rats en folie
Well-Known Member
Ebony is about 8 months old. He's a scaredy rat. When another rat goes near him he gets all freaked out and starts screaming. It usually gets my other rats worked up and everyone gets nervous and (or) scared. So far it hasn't started any big fights but a few minor boxing sessions.
He is a bit nervous around me to but he does love to be petted and calms down a bit. My friend had his brother and he was the same way. He ended up being killed by another rat. I'm not 100% sure of the circumstances.
Ebony does cuddle with and sleep with his friends. I'm thinking maybe a neuter will help. Or if I wait it out maybe he'll calm down. I think he's at an age where his hormones are going crazy!
I have 10 boys in a double critter nation. Would that be too crowded? I was thinking maybe adding a third level to give them more room....
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
