[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 437556, member: 7083"] I have another question for you, Marg. As you know, male ratties do the dominance thing. It looks like they're being aggressive, but they're really just reinforcing the pecking order. Moose is housed with a very docile, submissive male rattie, but still feels the need, daily, to let it be known that he is the boss. He does the walking sideways, and occasionally there is a quick scuffle - last less than 15 seconds. difficult child is worried that if he has his leg amputated that Moose will become more aggressive because he will feel threatened with his leg gone. Any thoughts on that? [/QUOTE]
