I certainly hope so! I can't wait to see her. How does mom feel about you getting her?

How are you planning to introduce them? I would do it soon as I imagine she's a baby and it's accepted that most successful pairings are babies with other babies. If you do some research online you will find good information on how best to introduce them. Some people suggest having them out together in a neutral environment for short bursts each day, increasing the time slightly until you're at a stage where they seem to be comfortable with each other. You don't want any injuries so I'd definitely do some research on the signs and behaviours that they show so you can observe when things are going well or pear shaped. Good luck.

They're already sleeping together in the tunnel. I introduced them in the bathroom and cleaned their cage to make sure no smells were still there. There now thee best of friends ! x

That was certainly quick, I'd keep an eye on them but I hope everything works out. Please make sure you look into exotics vets in your area. I look forward to the pictures.

Oh you got another already?! Have you discussed the evt issue wit your parents?

Rats will scrap and fight and it is important ot not interefere unless blood is drawn.

Please join a rat forum for advice, I am sorry about Moon, certainly shouldnt have happened to a kit so young x
