ZumbadorNew foster rats alert! Peanut and Raisin have been confirmed. I'm fetching them tomorrow evening. Must give their cage a proper clean first to remove all trace of the most recent occupants, the Blaze Boys.
I know almost nothing about Peanut and Raisin except that they are quite young and female.
The Blaze Boys are un-neutered males, and my other fosters, Twyla and Zen, are un-neutered females, which made me just a bit stressed. They were kept on opposite sides of my (tiny) house, and absolutely totally separate, but they could still sense one another. Especially when I picked them up, they could smell one another on me and my clothes. So not ideal.
Sensing two new girl-rats on the other side of the house might make Twyla and Zen feel a bit territorial, but it shouldn't stir them up like the presence of the Blaze Boys did.
