Okay, background on this.
Nemo is my eldest rat, his cage mate Zephye passed away this past August so I was looking for a friend for him (He would've been 1 year and 8 months or so, older now)
Vincent is a younger rat that I obtained from an owner who no longer could care for him. He was about 5-7 months when I got him in July. He's under a year and that's about as much as I know right now. I had him neutered since my previous attempt to intro him and Nemo together ended in well minor disaster. (He wasn't very aggressive but would pick fights from time to time)
Bandit, is a foster I'm currently fostering and will adopt if intros go right. He's about a year old maybe (previous owners had no idea his age), he was rescued from an abusive situation and since then has made it into our hearts. He was also recently neutered and was very aggressive before the neuter towards other rats. (flinging himself at their cages, ripping any barriers to get to the other rat)
Long story short, I have zero ideas how I'm going to go about introing 3 boys, when I could barely do 2...
Right now I've put Bandit's cage near Vincent's. Since Vincent and Nemo share a DCN that's separated there's not much I can do about putting Nemo near them.
Bandit is puffing like a porcupine and Vincent and him are charging at each other's cages. I think they tired out since Bandit is grooming now and left to go find food. Vincent is still watching. Sigh.
Any tips/advice would be great though.
