intros

[machined]

hello im new here my name is Christy(internet name i do not give real name out) and i got two female ratties and a new female today. i know no intros now, but wondered when is the best time to start introduction? the new rattie is 1month old, and my two i was told are 2months old but they do look a little more then that.

heres some pictures:

Maggie(2months old):

side view

Skye hairless2months old)

Millie(1month old):

as you can see Millie is like half the size of Skye and Maggie and wondered is it better to introduce her while she is still small or wait till she grows a bit. they are all females.

thank you for any help

P.s. they are not in bins anymore was only temp as i was building them their cage shown here

just finished in the picture.

Beautiful rats......
4 weeks is really to young to be away from her mother but I would think you could put her right in with the other babies......

Hi machined and welcome to you and your girls.
I would wait another two weeks for little Millie, rats should be quarantined away from resident rats so not to spread any possible illnesses.
If Skye and Maggie are docile girls, then I'd start intros after quarantine. :thumbup:

I misunderstood....I thought they came from the same place....just different litters.

Hi there! I wish I had an internet name. I could be something exotic like Passion or Moonbeam. Instead I use my real name. *sigh*

Your girls are really cute! I like their cage you built, too! It's awesome!
