Gorgeous ratties. Daft question but they are not actually having contact with each other are they being a boy and girl?

 

[sazzy]

They have just been split up there only 6 weeks old

Just beware that most people now split the sexes at 4.5 as breeders were having accidents previously when they were splitting at 5 weeks. I'm sure it will be fine but it is something to be aware of. I have an adult doe who is barely 200g after becoming a mum whilst still a baby herself.

Thanks i no brodie was mis sexed by a petshop thats why they were still together i've only had them a couple of days

 

[Rhian33]

ah, ok. Just wanted to make sure you were aware as 5 weeks is ever so young to be able to reproduce.

Gorgeous I remember my two being babies so well, they'll be one in a few weeks though!

 

[Crunchie]

We had a lot of trouble trying to introduce our last lot. Did you gut the cage and clean everything beforehand? Sometimes the original rats get a bit jelous over their cage if it smells strongly of them and not the other rat(s).

Yep i scrubed everything down humbug is usually fine so i don't no what got in to her but moonbeam was the same with jellybean but they soon settled lily was petrified think i'm going to keep her on her own till she's a bit bigger and try again
