I am hoping I can get some advice on the best way to introduce to young rats. I currently have one pet store rat that is about 8 weeks old I believe, and on May 1st will be getting a 6 week old rat as a companion from a very ethical breeder. She of course has her own advice which I trust, but you can never get enough advice I feel. I will of course quarantine the new rat and still feel like the pet store rat needs quarantined as well sense they don't come from the best of situations. How long do you guys suggest for quarantine and how do you all suggest introductions should be done? From what I understand the new rat I'm getting is much more socialized of course and passed temperament testing with flying colors, while my pet store rat is very jumpy. He isn't completely unsocialized but does get scared and squeaks very easily, he has never bitten me (or even nipped) during those scared moments. I don't know if this information is useful but just in case I thought I would share, thank you all so much!
