i would put it to sleep, what if has rabiesssssssssss! (duh)
Wow....I know this is probably too late to do anything, but I wouldn't put the rat to sleep. That last answer is ridiculous. I've owned plenty of rats, and if your other rat just has scratches on its back, it might not even be from the other rat. I had a rat living by itself and it still got scratches, presumably from the cage itself. If the rat is vicious towards other rats (which it very well might be if it was raised alone) that does not mean it is rabid. Rats develop clans..and if it is older and has not had other rats in its life, it is very likely that it considers humans clan members and will fight off other rats. Rats do not usually kill each other, but I would still keep them apart. If it's a one time thing I wouldn't worry about it. Rats have social hierarchies and tend to have a few minor fights now and a then, but I never EVER saw anything serious. DOESNT HAVE RABIES--BAH.
