Sorry for the double post!
So my rats puppy and ritz are sisters (at least I think they are) and aren’t even fully grown yet, still quite small and chubby. My rat aurora has probably been alone most of her life unfortunately, and she is full grown.
Every time I put them together they’ve done wonderful. I have yet to have a single fight between them. The most I’ve seen happen is the grooming or sniffing each other, other than that they usually just keep themselves. I don’t want aurora to be alone anymore. But I feel like they’re getting along suspiciously well. The only other time I’ve had to introduce rats, it was NOT this easy, they fought a lot before they got along.
I’m not even joking when I say I put Aurora into the other rats cage, to see if it would strike a reaction out of them (I was watching like a hawk, don’t worry) and nothing. No fights no hostile behavior, nothing. Even in their own cage!!
I’m still trying to go through the steps of introducing them but I don’t feel like there’s any point since they literally don’t fight and are not aggressive at all. I’m just afraid that one day one of them will snap out of nowhere. Any advice?

I'd say they should be fine!
I'm pretty finicky with introductions after a snap that my girls have done in the past - so I started to do half-day things
Pretty much leave them together in the cage for the day and take them out at night/when your not in immediate area - after a day or two of that normally I just leave them together
Thank you so much! Sounds good!
If they're doing well, I say go for it ^^ if you've been doing introductions and they're doing well, I don't see why not. Just keep an eye out for em. I'm sure Aurora appreciates seeing other rats 🥰
Okay I think I’ll try it then! I’m gonna deep clean the cage first and see how it goes!
