Introducing New Rats

Introductions can be fast and simple - or lengthy and gritty. Many factors contribute to this, but it is stressful nonetheless. Although I could type out each of the (many) methods for you to try, I am going to instead link you to a website where they have already done this beautifully. Isamu Rats is a safe and knowledgeable resource for many things 'rat', and they really take the cake with this comprehensive list! You can find their informational page about this here.
