Absolutely! In fact, if they get along, it's better to have more than one rat. But I wouldn't recommend going over 4 or 5. You don't want any of the rats getting claustrophobic or sick from crowding.

No, rats have more bone than cartilage, same as most mammals. However, their skeleton has more flexibility at the joints, particularly the pectoral girdle and rib cage, which allows them to bend and squeeze into spaces that do not look big enough for a rat.


How many ferrets of the same litter can you keep in a cage?

You can keep them all in the same cage provided it has plenty of room and they aren't confined too much. A ferrets cage size at minimum should be at least 3 foot width X 2 foot depth X 2 foot height. A large, well designed cage for ferrets is a necessity especially if you plan on keeping more ferrets in the same cage.


How do you stop a male fancy mouse from being mean to another male fancy?

You take both the of the rats and put them in an area that neither of them have claimed. Keep them in their for about 2 days. You have to keep an eye on them though. Once they are good together move them back into the old cage. If this does not work then you may not sue me. Also you can take the one that isn't mean and get it a new cage. Next time you get rats I advise you to buy the same litter.
