What is the best procedure for introducing rats? Is it possible to introduce two males without them getting into a big fight?
If possible, put rats in separate cages near each other so they can get used to the smell (and sight) of the others. After about a week, let them out on a neutral area (possibly your bed or a couch). If they fight, separate them and try again in a day or so. Clean out both cages and disinfect them. Dab some vanilla extract on the bridge of the nose (between the nose and the eyes), on the back, and on the genitals of each rat. Let the rats go in and out of both cages until they are comfortable and there is no fighting. The whole procedure may take a day, days, a week or a month. Be patient. Also be prepared for the fact that some rats may never get along and will need to be housed separately.
