A couple of weeks ago I posted about Larry, who wouldn't get off my shoulder at playtime and was scared of all the other rats....
Well, I decided to try intros with just him and the PEW boys. Wow, it was much easier than I expected. No fights at all, no biting, no flipping, just lots and lots of walking around and sniffing. Today I decided to try the six of them in a cage together. I scrubbed down the extra SuperPet Exotic that none of them have ever been in, put brand new hammocks in it, and some new chew stuff. Larry seems glad to have some cagemates, and the PEWs don't treat him any differently than they have each other. One of them was even cuddling with Larry in a hammock.
They got their plate of veggies a little while ago, and that went great too. No fights over the food at all, and they were crawling all over each other to get to what they wanted. They've been together for about five and a half hours now. So far so good!
