Re: Rats humping and fighting

Humping is a form of dominance. Unless the behaviour continues for longer than it should, or any blood is spilt, it shouldn't be anything to worry about

Re: Rats humping and fighting

It's just sorting out hierachy, my girls do it all the time (there's 4 of them) and moreso especially since one is pregnant. They'll settle down and as Marcia said, as long as there's no blood you're all good

Peace
