You should not keep a rat and a mouse on the same cage together, The rat will most likely kill the mouse as that is their natural instinct.

Should a new rat and a old rat be put together?

You need 2 cages and put 1 in one cage and the other rat in the other one. leave the cages next to each other so they get the sent of each other. the next day switch the rats into the other rat cages. that way they can smell the sent more. next put them in a flat surface area like a bathtub because its not their property. they will smell each other then the little rat will make a high pitched scream for about two days because they are figuring out who is the boss (which rat) of course the older rat will be the boss of the little one. in about a week they will be calm with each other. I've gone through this before. HOPE THIS HELPED

How do you introduce a new rat to a resident rat?

it is a good idea to take the resident rat out of its cage/tank/area so that it does not want to defend its territorrie, put them both a little way from each other, and make sure they see each other before you put them down, if the fight, take them both away from each other, but be careful because when rats are angry their bites hurt! hope that helps :)


Are mice friendly?

Yes, pet mice are usually friendly. I held a mouse at the pet store and it was a being a calm little mouse. Mice are also funny. Sometimes, you will see a bunch of them on an exercise wheel at the pet store and the wheel will go all the way around and some mice fall off. They are nice, cute, funny, and if you are interested in buying one, then you should go to your local pet store. I have 2 pet rats at my house. Never put a rat cage and a mouse cage next to each other, or the mouse will be scared. Also, a rat and a mouse should NEVER be in the same cage, unless you want a dead mouse and an angry rat. The rat will eat the mouse.

Can a rat eat a mouse?

No. Not at all, I don't think. Because rats are WAY bigger than mice (unless its like, a super small rat) and even then, the rat would probably kill the mouse. I don't recommend it.
