Can you have a pair of male rats together in the same cage???

Just wondering if you could have a pair of male rats in the same cage together with them hurting each other.


Because I heard you can't have a pair of male rats in a cage together. }:(Can you have a pair of male rats together in the same cage???
YES. Rats should be kept in pairs, and most rats get along with others. Males typically get along spendidly with each other. They'll sleep together, groom each other and play-fight.





If you get the rats spearately, make sure you introduce them to each slowly and somewhere that is ';neutral'; - don't shove the new one into the old one's cage. If you get them together, they should get along fine.





Male rats sometimes get more aggressive towards puberty, but this isn't the case for all.Can you have a pair of male rats together in the same cage???
It depends. My rats came out of the same litter and I bought them together. They've been sharing a cage this whole time. There are a few disputes, but as long as they get exercise out of their cage they tend to fight very little. They're very close- always snuggling, and can even work their travel ball together.





If you do it, you may get lucky as I did. But be prepared with some money for a second cage if you need it.
its a better to put them in together from babies


they might fight at 1st, they do this to figure out who's boss then they should be fine





i had two male rats from babies they used to hate each other and fight but in time time they grow to love each other and curl up in the bed together
You most certainly can put two boys together, and you should. Rats thrive off of eachother's company. And males are actually a lot more aesy going and lazy than females are. Just make sure that the introduction goes slow, a couple weeks usually. Check out fancy-rats.co.uk for info ... it's a forum where I learned everything I've ever needed to know about my ratties.
I used to keep two male rats in the same cage together. It's best to get them from the same litter. Or it that's not possible introduce them to each other when they're both still young.





Mine got on perfectly fine until they both died of old age. They never had a single fight, and followed each other round like puppy dogs. You should have a problem as long as their cage is big enough. Also I'd provide two beds for them, incase they want to sleep sepretly (mine never did)





Male rats get on bette rthan female rats : )
Where did you hear that? All rats should be kept with same sex pairs or they will get lonely. I don't know why people think male rats are aggressive, quite the opposite is true. Big balls of laziness is what they are.
