I've read the other posts on quarantining, but I'm gonna ask anyway:

I'll be adding a couple more to our little family sometime in March. They are from the same breeder so I'm wondering if/how long quarantine is necessary. We currently only have 2, but they have sneezed since they came home. No discharge around eyes or nose, though, and their appetite and energy level seem normal; their coats look fine. I can't figure out if it's a problem or not!

Whatcha think?
 
Most likely not... but it would depend if the breeder has brought in new rats to her home, if so, whatever they have may be in the babies as well and could be passed on to yours.
