Hello everyone. I live in Chicago Illinois and I have four rats: two adult intact males Artemis and Badger who are very sweet boys who have never been aggressive towards each other, and two intact 8 week old males Smeagle and Dobby also very sweet and very curious. The reason why I joined the board was because I am still relatively new to rat care giving (Artemis and Badger are a year and 1/2 and they are my first rats I adopted them when they were six weeks) and I always think of new questions that I just cannot find the answer to no matter how much research I do. So my question of the day is: I have begun the introduction process between the adults and the babies. They have had no face to face time yet and today is the first day of cage swapping. When I put the adults in the cage where I was keeping the babies they did not act very aggressively. They started wandering around smelling everything (to get the babies sent) and then started to brux and boggle like crazy. My question is, how should I interpret this behavior?
