   Should pet rats be kept together?

   • Pet rats should be housed together from a young age and should ideally be siblings. They should be kept in pairs or small same-sex groups and are perfectly happy without the opposite sex.

   May 28, 2023 · Rats are social animals and should always be kept with friends. This means you need to have at least two rats, if not three. I personally recommend having three or more so when one dies, you’re not left with a lonely, depressed singleton.
