I'm pretty sure this is a good improvement. Natalie and Spice didn't
seem so interested in eachother after grooming eachother in the tub
anymore so I decided to take it a step up (after doing this for a week)
to introduce on the floor of my room. Natalie attatcked Spice twice and
then they started grooming a bit and then they weren't interested much
anymore. I'll keep doing this and keep switching the cages. This is the
longest it has ever taken for me! xD
Lucy and Spice still get to play together. They're so cute together!

Thanks. Yup, they have another session today. ;D

I have a question...next time they have a fight...(well I usually let
them ride it out but in the end I have to make them lay off eachother
because they start getting into it), well, should I not interfere next
time if they fight even if it starts getting long? Because after it
goes awhile, I seperate them with this monster glove of mine. Maybe if
I let them finish a fight...Natalie will accept her? I don't know. I
hate seeing them fight and it goes on so i feel im forced to stop it. :\

Some rats are actually playing when we think they are fighting. If you see
blood, or big bite marks or you see one rat is absolutely terrified, then
interfere but not until then.

I wouldn't get involved in their fights unless blood is drawn.  One way
or another they have to sort it out for themselves.  Frustrating I
know,... I am going through the same thing at the moment..:(
