Today was the sixth day The New Girl came to my house and the second day her and Lily had exchanged their blankets/fleece so I thought it would be OK for them to meet each for the first time. It started off great, they were licking and grooming each other then soon I guess Lily got bored since she walked away. The New Girl followed her then suddenly Lily just attacked her!
She didn't bite her too hard, since once I had cleaned her up The New Girl she stopped bleeding and was back to begging for attention from me.
Basically, I want to know should I do something to The New Girl? Or do you think she's fine (besides being a bit shocked)? She doesn't seem in any pain...
Also, I'm really worried that I rushed everything to fast (I guess I was overexcited and should of been more patient) so should I wait another week continuing to exchange their blankets and then try an intro again? And, if it adds on to anything Lily hasn't seen another rat for about a year and the Lily is all full grown while The New Girl is only about 3 months old and growing so I'm hoping that won't add any difficulty.
