I got two more boys to add to my old pair today. They're currently in a separate cage right across from my old rat's cage, with a little space in between. The thing is, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD TO QUARANTINE THEM IN TWO SEPARATE ROOMS!!!! I'm so stupid, I even touched the old rats right after handling the new ones. I live in a one room apartment so I have no where to quarantine the new boys too. I'm worried sick my old boys are gonna catch something nasty from the new ones through the air.
Are there any signs I should watch for?? Do you guys quarantine your new rats??? I heard parasites like giardia or pinworms are a concern as well. I really regret touching them without washing my hands!!!!
By the way, I got them from a pet shop.
