Frida and Si = Thanks guys. Wesker is the one who might have to be put down, he was the one who attacked and seriously injured, Snape our other rat. He's being really aggressive towards the others in his cage and now us aswell.. Ez's mum came up and grabbed him, but he was gonna go for her. He was sizing up and threatening my arm earlier when I went to break up the fight (Did not want another £87 vet bill!) He's been sitting with Ez's mum for the last two hours downstairs so hopefully he's calmed down a bit now.
The vet said neuter him Si, but I won't because I am 100% sure it won't do anything, plus it's a risk putting him under anesthetic at 2 years old. I was a nervous wreck when Snape went under, but thank god he came through it. It's a risk and it's definately not hormonal. Im no vet, but I am thinking it's stress. He's in charge now and he can't cope with it. I am going to put him in our second spare cage tomorrow when Snape goes in with the girlies, but for now he kind of has to stay in with the others. If he settles down in the other cage alone, great but if he's still aggressive towards us, then he'll have to be put down :\ It's a shame, but he can't be happy if he's so angry and bitey all the time.
