It’s finally happened- I at last have another local breeder I can wholeheartedly recommend for their ethics and husbandry, and my spin-off smeezy line! 💕
(She also currently has a litter of rescue babas for adoption- raised to the same standard as we all want and hope for!)

🐭 Male rat castration options, surgical vs. chemical 🐭
Castration of male rats whether surgical or chemical is usually done in cases of hormonal aggression. It may also done be as contraception in mixed gender groups of rats. It is therefore not done routinely.

Hormonal aggression is something that male rats occasionally suffer from. It usually occurs at 6-9months of age but can occur at different times. It often settles with neutering.

The aggression is usually directed towards other rats, but sometimes can be directed towards people. Therefore the aggression needs to be resolved so your rat can live happily with other rats, and interact safely with people.

Remember to consider other causes of aggression such as pain, disease, stress and fear.

Also remember to consider whether the fighting you are seeing is genuine aggression or play-fighting. Signs of genuine aggression include blood been drawn, piloerection (fluffed up fur) and loud vocalisation. Play fighting can include chasing, wrestling and mock biting. These are just a few examples.
