There's an idea! For some reason I always assumed they were too old for that but it seems like something worth looking into. I think they were born February or March 2006? Or 2005? :think: I adopted them August 2006, that's the only thing I know for sure. :laugh2:
The woman who adopted them out said Brie was the boss of a pack of six girls, so I think when they were all split up the dominance wasn't so clear anymore as Elphie seems to want her shot at being queen bee. The thing is she never induces more than a minor cut. But she does try, and they flip each other over all the time after battling it out. You'd think they'd have a pecking order by now but I'm not sure.
I didn't realize rat dynamics could be so complicated. It's like the popular trio of girls in high school...there's a queen bee and her two minions, ones that wouldn't mind overthrowing her if given the chance. But with a new kid in the pack...no wait, in that theory there's still friction.
Or maaaaybe I need to get some sleep and am overthinking this way too much, lol.
