So I finally socialized the boys with each other enough to put them all in the same cage. Although they have been with me for a some time now I haven't really put them together until recently because I had a bad experience with a friends rats once.
Long story short they all escaped and killed my lone rat whom I rescued from being snake food.
Anyway, so boys are all socialized and getting along great. All hanging out and just doing their own thing. Rizzo was even mounting Jasper who was uninterested and waddled away to hang out with Pockets. My concern in all of this is Socks. Ever since I put them all in the cage together socks has been sitting in the top corner of the cage not really moving, away from everyone and seems very afraid. I think he's also nipping at everyone else including his brother! I'm not really sure what to do. I don't think anyone else will hurt him. I'm just afraid he might hurt someone else. I dunno what to do? =(
