Rats very much enjoy the company of other rats. Putting males and females together however will quickly result in over population.
To introduce two rats take them to a neutral area away from their cages. Say a table or a bed or the floor. Let them sniff and touch for awhile and then after a bit put them away into the same cage. Rats do tend to play fight and wrestle alot..there can be squealing, as long as they are not injuring each other it is all normal.
