Sebastian meet your two girlfriends-Day-done ;)

Owie stretches are normal, even a few days later. I wouldn't worry until you really see lumps.

I feel them right above his incision and to the right of his willy, it has been a week. I never seen a boy have them this long. I cannot tell if they are abscess or something else.

 

[jorats]

Ah damn.

 

[hopefloats]

Yeah not thrilled at all with anything.....Merry Christmas to me!

 

[jorats]

((hugs))

[mamarat]

Oh no, poor baby.

So I needed to clean the girls cage today...I took Sebastian out in the cat carrier and carried the girls cage out to the dining room with him. I put the girls on the table with him and the cat carrier. None of them would come out. I said ok, after i got the cage clean I set the cage up there...of course all the life snapped back into them.


Oh a cage! Happy Rat..

Sebastian checking out then enemy rats.

So they had about 45 minutes on the table. I wanted to see what I was going to be dealing with as far as his attitude so i put the cage up. I know rats dont show their true colors till a good cage or hidey house is involved. Nothing....he has done not one thing lol I left them out on a table for a while, then I moved the cage closed to the floor of the rat room. I left them there while I cleaned up the mess i made from cleaning their cage. I was going to take him out and put him back in his cage but they were so quiet, i just left him. That was about 4 hours ago

Here they are right now.. The girls have a no boys allowed sign up in their hammock, he tries to get in it, they squeak LOL he walks away..

I am sitting here watching them, and I see him pinning Choxi, and grooming her. I knew that would happen Choxi is a wanna be alpha...

Choxi Left, Sebastian right

I am more comfortable with them being around each other. I am not comfortable enough to let them stay together. I will most likely put him back in his cage since i have to work tomorrow and I dont do new move in's unless I can watch them closely. I think tomorrow I will take the whole cage out again, introduce him to it in a scary room again, then bring them back in here after an hour or so.

I hate this cage in so many way. every time I clean it, I cuss it out. I swear back to the garage it goes soon LOL

 

[hopefloats]

He is still in there.. really it is the rats timing and not mine right? He chases choxi a bit, she runs to her hammocks, squeaks and he goes back to his box on the bottom.

I only let templeton meet his girls 2 times before they moved in, and there was a lot more than these two.

He might just stay there. I can sleep near them tonight.. I am not sure yet. He looks so happy though! he doesnt have that miserable look that him and fred had :heart:



he isn't having owie stretches anymore, he has been on baytril since I found the lumps...probably just an annoyances.

 

[kscanuck785]

aawww...if you can hear them tonight and intervene if something goes wrong, I'd leave them together since they seem to be doing all right

 

[hopefloats]

it has been about 7 hours now, not one tussle. Even when he grooms them, it is nice rat grooming not i have testicle grooming. I am leaving him in there. I can hear any screams. He is happy as a lark though. He is all perky eared and bright eyed. I just hope he can bond with them. He hasnt been a rat's rat since his hormones kicked in... I would like to see him in a little rat pile

 

[hopefloats]

I was going to remove him, but I couldnt justify it. He wasnt do anything wrong.

This morning I let them out for a bit of out time..

they wanted my strawberry apple puff treats..

Now I wait for the cuddle shots to show up

 

[jorats]

Awesome!

 

[hopefloats]

It stll amazes me how easy intros with mixed sexes can go.. we know how horrible my boy to boy intros Are.

 

[mamarat]

Best Christmas present ever!

 

[hopefloats]

My little bossy girls are letting him know, it is not ok to touch them... I crack up, he goes near them and tries to sniff or get to pinning, they start squeaking.. They appear to be setting all the ground rules. He takes them a lot better than I thought he would. You can tell he tries to play with them, he is popcorning around and the girls are unsure.

 

[jorats]

That's so sweet... It must make your hert melt when you see him popcorning.

 

[hopefloats]

It does, he was my smallest baby when I brought them home... and then these last few months of him being a terror LOL it is nice to see the nice rat I seen before
