Advice needed on rescuing dumbo rats!

Hiya advice please! I already have one buck (not neutered) Dumbo called Charlie, who i was given a year ago, he has always been a single rat as my irresponsible cousin bought him as a novelty, not aware it is best to have pairs, thus i accuired him. He is lovely and sweet in all respects and was considering getting him... a friend or two as he gets a bit lonely sometimes. Have found a pair of neutered bucks on the RSPCA website which look lovely. Would this be wise? Or would they fight? Any replies greatly appreciated.

Rachel.

3 neutered bucks should have no problems integrating together Introduce them as you would any group of rats (PM me for more info if you don't know how to do this) and they should get on fine.

Shouldn't need to unless problems arise once they are together! Male rats can get along without being neutered and usually the only reason to get them neutered is fighting. There is no guarantee that they won't fight, but one being unneutered shouldn't be a problem!
