What the heck my rats are not getting along for some reason.

They have been fighting a bit more then they used to or it seems they have gotten rougher with each other.

I have two boys. One of them has a tiny scab on him from a fight i think ): If I gets any worse I will separate them. I hope its just a phaaase.

My rats went through a phase like that. I think it can be 1. a lack of exercise or activities leads to pent up energy and boredom which leads to grooming exesively or fighting over nonsense.

2. Sometimes sibling just get fed up of each other and need some time apart. Like when neither my brother or myself had vehicles and we lived in a smaller house with only one computer, one tv and our rooms right next to each other, ya, we fought Alllll the time. Now I don't see him much and we get along really well lol. So maybe they will only need a temporary seperation to cool off a bit.

If you let them roam I would try to up the amount, if not, maybe some stimulating activities like a dig box, or a piniata.

My new boys fight alot but they do it to be top rat in the cage. They dont hurt themselves BUT they do get restless since I dont have perches and toys for them yet. (they were rescues) You need to keep them busy. Chew toys, plastic ball cat toys, the activities that Gabby said. You can search on Google for activities for rats.
