Introducing young boys?

[stodda29]

Just a quick question, as up until now I've only had girls:  how easy/difficult is it to introduce 6-9 week old male rats.  I know it becomes something of an involved process as they get older, but how often do you encounter problems when they're still young and impressionable?

 It should be relatively easy with such young ratties. Just put them all in a neutral area and let them go.

 Can't offer any personal experience though I'm afraid. My boys were about that age when I brought Rufus home. Didn't know any better at the time and I just popped him right in the cage. He crawled into the sleeping box with the other two, and that was that.
