Lol, he almost looks like Ron Jeremy with his big brown thing on hair on his head. Good stuff. Rats will use a wheel but it's not necessary like hamsters who will run their little hearts out. They prefer toys better I think.

I think he'll get enough exercise from the 3 exercise machines you already have! (Rocco, Candy and Sassy)

is rocco another male? If so you should just start another group, because they will likely kill each other fighting over the females.

Otherwise since he is nothing but a breeder, he doesn't need anything special.

Well I am curently attending College in a Vet Program we just finished our Exotics section. 2 weeks ago we covered rodents.

It turnes out that although Pet stores sell them all the time Rats and Gerbils shold not have runnig wheels due to the fact that there tails are too long and wheels are the leading cause of tail injuries.

As well I have ben raising rats now for 2 years and I have observed that the females tend to fight more ofhen then the males. ppl tend to think that rats are like mice when it comes to aggresing twords each other or the offspring. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying that they do not fight just not as much as ppl think they do. If you have any more questions feel free to Pm me if need be.
