I got a rat about three weeks ago, and I thought she could use a friend, she not aggressive or anything so I got another female for her to get to know, they have two sperate cages that are attached by a tube. Anyway I just got the second rat today and she is really shy and maybe nervous, and when my second rat just stays in her house and doesn't do anything my first rat, pushes her, jumps on her, and my second rat makes little but occasional light squeaks, is my first rat hurting her? Should I just let them work it out? My first rat goes into the seconds cage but wont let the second one do the same is that noraml? There hasn't been any blood but still should I keep them apart and just let them have occasional meetings until they get to know eachother better?
