As I said before, I've had rats for years and used to have more at a time, including a couple of boys that would not get along with the others ( despite careful introductions, and even neutering ) so more cage space was required then lol. Now I just still have the cage and I love how roomy it is for them. There's really no such thing as "too much" space for rats and they enjoy it. :) they'd have their own room if we had the space in the house lol.

Haha yeah I had one boy that was very fat but would not exercise for his life. If you set him on the middle step of the staircase he wouldn't even try to go up or down he was that lazy.
My other boys love exploring and are all over the house during free range time, up and down the stairs and every room.
They all have different personalities.

Hi xD I go by Kat.

1. How many rats do you have, if any? A lot. I forget exact numbers but I’m sitting around 23+.
2. Males vs Females, which do you prefer and why!
I can’t decide. I love boys for cuddling, but my heart rat is female and she’s such a sweetheart.
3. Whats your cage setup (or dream setup)? I have quite a few cages but MOST of my rats are in my Triple Critter Nation.
4. Favorite color/marking ? Dumbo vs Top-ear?
I love blues and blacks. As for markings, I love blaze markings 🖤. As for the ears, I can’t help it but I LOVE dumbos. Their ears are just too cute.


Also, I just barely picked up two more girls and I’m so ecstatic. They’re Blue Agouti Marten Rex dumbos, and while I have a blue agouti male, I’ve never had martens or rexes.

Anybody have experience with rats barbering their cagemates ? Baby Tbone has been barbering his two older brothers to the point where their backsides are bald and scabby. He's been overall a big bossy baby brother : / I've been giving him extra toys and attention but Im not sure if its boredom or maybe he just needs an attitude adjustment (a neuter)

@Bucky

Are you positive it's all just from barbering? Hair loss and scabs are also a sign of mites, which could also encourage them to overgroom since they would be frustratingly itchy.
Not saying it IS mites, but I've seen cases of owners, and even vets, misdiagnosing mites as aggressive cagemate grooming, and it would be a good thing to rule out before going the neutering route.
(Also neutering isn't necessarily a cure for aggressive grooming, as that's more of a personality/neuro impulse rather than a hormonal aggression)
