Agressive male intros

[KHRYSTIANA]

How would I attempt intros with 3 agressive adult males that cannot be handled?One is neutered but still human agressive.Thanks

Are they aggressive toward other rats or only toward people?

Please describe the aggressive bahaviour of each boy.

:yeah: We really need details on the aggressiveness. What one person believe is aggression, another might not.
How old are the rats, what is their background, how long have they been with you?

Are you the one from fb? I am Peggy Michelle on there. I would post in detail the living arrangements, what you have seen and so on. I know males can be human aggressive and love rats. I had a girl what would lunge and chase my hand out of the cage, bit me a dozen times, never bit another rat during intros or living with them. She lived with up to 16 rats at one point.

Two of the three are cage mates that get along fine now with each other after one was neutered.The other was attacked by a mental brother repeatedly even after neutering..The attacker will always be a lone rat.His brother is currently alone too as he now has trust issues with rats.They all bite and cannot be handled.I have tried since bringing them home everything that was recommended.Trust training,down the shirt,treats on spoons,carring pouches,sittting and talking to them at the cage.Everything I could think of.They just want nothing to do with me.I think they were happy and settled at the rescue and didn't get over leaving there.I have the two cage mates in the bottom of a double cn and the one lone boy in the top.His brother has his own seperate cage away from them.

One is 1 yr and two months another is 1 yr and the two brothers will be 1 next month.I've had them since last November.Two of were neutered almost 6 months ago but are still agressive to each other and me.They WILL bite.

When you place the boys together, are you doing it on neutral ground? Like in the bathtub or tabletop?

 

[KHRYSTIANA]

Yes the one time I tried it was a neutral spot.But they were much younger at the time.It was immediate fighting so I never tried it again.

I would try again. A scary spot, no toys, have a bowl of yummy food in the middle for distractions.
