So, I have two unspaid rats, Tamira and Nifti. Thay are 8 months old and sisters. I mention this because a few weeks ago, at essentially the same time, I noticed that thay diden't show ther usual ear weggle and back arcing behavour of when thay go into heat. I did read that some rats don't show as mutch of a reaction, but for 7 something months it was always pretty obvius with them. I do see Tamira humping har sister sometimes (but nothing the other way around), but I'm still wondering if this change might have some external causes (like diet or heat?) or if it is just part of tha aging process.
Just in case it migth help, in all other respects thay are still curius and energetic.
thanks
 
I suspected as much, it was just so sudden that my overprotectivness kiked in. Just a bit sad that I won't see them jump around like crazy hahaha.
