Loving rats since 2002.
I've only had Radar for a few days but his behaviour has me stumped. He looks old but he sure is active, feverishly marking everywhere. When he's on me, he even does odd behaviour moves that I would interpret as about to bite me. But he hasn't it so far.
I tried a couple of intros today. Not putting him with the old/sick group, so I thought the young crew. Boy, what a mistake. He didn't go after them but there was an immediate change in the three girls: Sophie, Cande and Nessie, same with the three baby boys. The six cagemates started to even fight between each other when Radar is near them.
I'm stumped. I'm starting to think maybe he's not a good candidate for cage buddies? Maybe I should find him a spayed girl and they can just live together? If it works out. This is going to be hard. I just can't fathom the idea of a lone rat. :help2:
