all together or group by group?

[virgo2882]

I altogether have 10 rats. I have 9 young girls and one neutered adult boy.
However some are recently new my collection =)
They are separated like this....4 Sisters are together, 3 different sisters together, 2 different sisters, and rue by himself.
I could not put rue with any of the girls cause he still has a week to go before he is allowed to be put in with the girlies and not make me a grandma.
All of the girls are between 2.5-4 months old and rue the male is an adult.
I have 3 level FN cage and i want them all to be together..... I have never put any rats together that I did not adopt together ...together soo my questions are should I start introducing alll of the girls together or just one group of girls at a time and then rue the male....or should i bring them all together to one meeting area.......
I hear young females are pretty easy to introduce....?
ALso if they all hit it off great how many intros should I do....or is one great intro enough?
Thanks for the help!

I would recommend you do 5 to 7 intros. Put all of them together, every day for about an hour each time. Then you scrub down the cage and throw them in. :lol:

I agree with this. I think doing introduction a small group at a time might be more confusing for the rats. Just my opinion.
