Social Behavior
See also: Social behavior in the brown ratParticularly with males, there can be some fighting in the beginning, but once an alpha rat has been determined, the rats should get along well. Within a week or two, the rats will most likely have adjusted and become friendlier with each other. Rats are generally very friendly to other cage mates, particularly with females. They will even sometimes help or take care of other sick rats.
