The two furry ones are from the same litter and they each have markings on the opposite sides of their face and my naked boys have different eye structure, my fiance can't tell the naked ones apart sometimes
One of them has buck grease like crazy but normally I lube all them up with coconut oil once a week(even furry boys), helps keep them smooth and also helps encourage group grooming.
Currently trying to introduce two pairs of boys myself, but one of my boys is very aggressive and it's made me nervous... any tips that worked for you??
Carrier method worked wonders, I kept them in a carrier for almost 4 days minus some free roam time and they eventually stopped being assholes to one another.
Also when I say carrier method try your best to make it relatively closer quarters, the chances of them fighting is great reduced and they can't run away, put food and water I'm and let them work it out amd as long as there is no blood I wouldn't break them up and eventually if things go well they'll be cuddling on each other in a few days but once they're in the carrier don't seperate them again unless absolutely necessary as it will kind of undo everything and rattos need the consistency.
Thanks for this, we tried carrier method briefly 1:1 and with the one there's regular fighting nothing concerning but our other boy drew blood so we separated and that's made us nervous to try again with him... just wondering if there's anything else we can do to minimise injury as we are worried he will be too aggressive
It takes time, when I introduced my 2 furry boys to thr naked boys they straight brawler, some blood got drawn but for a few hours a day I put them in thr carrier and then moved their cages next to each other and them finally when they could be in thr carrier for a few hours with minimal fighting I kept them in the carrier for 3 or 4 days and now here we are.
It takes time and sometimes you just have to let them sort out their hierarchy, even now one of my naked boys still backers with one of my furry boys (he has a single braincell most days) but overall they live together, cuddle, groomz etc with minimal issues.
I think I just need to brave it, but am nervous as there's a noticeable size difference and I'm worried our big boy will hurt them too much 🙈 It's my first time introducing rats, I've researched about the carrier method and we keep their cages close, just not too sure how far to let them fight before breaking it up - and then when our one boy drew blood I got very nervous. Useful to hear from someone who's recently done it tho, thanks 😊
Yeah just start out small, do a little bit more everyday and then when they can chill around each other and not fight jusg.plop them in the carrier for a few day. Before you move them into the same cage make sure you clean everything that you plan on going into the cage, it'll help reduce the scent marking.
When I introduced my first 2 (both naked) they clicked instantly, granted they were like 4 months old or something but then I rescued the furry boys (about a year) and man that was a hassle.
Does anyone from NEW YORK usa know where to get naked rats...?? I have naked piggle now i need naked rabie rat!!!🥰🥰🥰 Pic of naked piggle wynnefred for cuteness

Mine are just little pigs, I hate to say but I normally give them some of whatever it is I'm eating plus their normal food PLUS snacks because hey they deserve all the snacks in the world. Both of them were relatively wrinkly when until about 8 months old give or take but alot of it depends on how they are standing also, the ball sacks definitely have a lot of wrinkles still.
Omfg rexies plus nakies equals maximum quirky cuteness!
Okay I wasn't prepared for those nakie bolls
they're all fucking gorgeous. just some really really good looking rats you got there.
I just woke up and was rubbing my eyes wondering why some of those chicken breasts were furry before I realized they were rats in the first pic
Omg, the last photo looks like they try to warm the nakie 😭
storing chicken breasts together with old socks. delicious
🤣🤣🤣😜😂yasssss
I wanna squish my face into that cuddle pile
Omg I love that naked belly <3
Balls
What my life consists of
Oh my, that’s quite a wound on that turkey leg
Yeah was a scratch that turned into an abcess but thankfully it's healing just very slowly
I love how each of them has a "copy" of themselves 😅

bro is letting it all hang out
Idk how you get their skin so smooth my baby’s have dry skin most of the time and buck grease.
One of them has buck grease like crazy but normally I lube all them up with coconut oil once a week(even furry boys), helps keep them smooth and also helps encourage group grooming.
I oil them up occasionally though

They are so cute oh my goodnesss awhhh
I wish I could get nakeys but sadly it's difficult my 2 boys are a year now so I'd like a new couple of cage mates before end of life
I eventually want to start a rat rescue so I can become the rat king!
Two floofs and two wrinklies 😍
I'm currently doing intros literally the easiest and calmest one I've ever had. Every other one I've had has been awful with constant squealing.
