Hi guys I just got my babys home and they seem to get along with my 6 month old furbabys but my babys keep trying to ride the older ones and my older ones don't like it so much haha

How old are these babies? if they are under 10 weeks old they shouldnt be meeting your other rats. One bite from an adult is almost always instant death. You have to do intros slowly and not just toss them in the same cage either.

--- yes , do be careful & watchfull of the intros. I would not leave them unattended. The older ones might end up getting upset and bite the babies.

Some pics w/b great !

Congrats on your new additions. They still need a couple more weeks to grow before you intro them to your older crew.

Although babies shouldn't go to new homes before 6 weeks of age,
they could be anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 weeks or older.

Way too young to be physically introed to rats over 12 weeks old

Hi, can we get pics of your new sweeties. How old are your older rats? Older rats might be annoyed with super young rats but they usually settle down after a while. How many babies did you adopt? That's really good that they will have each other to play hard with and then learn to respect the older ones.
Most babies leave their mom at 4 weeks. Some breeders wait until 6 weeks. That is considered young and could be dangerous to start intros. Do you have them all living together already? Or at they just being introduced slowly?
