QUESTION: Hey,
My rat has recently started to gnaw on my skin; usually my arms or my belly. It doesn't hurt or anything and he has something he can chew on in his cage, yet he chooses not to chew very often from it. Any ideas?

ANSWER: Rats  nibble. It's what they do. If it bothers you, you can begin teaching him not to - otherwise he's just tasting you, and there is no harm in it.

QUESTION: My rat is a year and a few months years old and fully grown. Where I work we have a critter cage with one rat in it for snakes but it isn't selling. By the looks of it I'm guessing is about 6 months old and is smaller than my rat. Will the two rats get along if I were to put them together??

Answer
Maybe. Is it the same sex as your rat? Is your cage big enough to house two?

If the cage isn't big enough, don't even try it. If they're not the same gender, don't try it either. And make sure you look up proper quarantining if you do decide to get this second rat.
