Good news: All the rats seem to get along with one another!
Bad news: The little rats seem to be able to fit through the gaps of the big cage.
Possible solutions:
1) Keep little rats in smaller cage for another month or two; just long enough for them to get too big to squeeze out of the big cage wire gaps.
2) Buy mesh with smaller gaps and zip-tie it to the outside of the big cage to prevent escapes. It would possibly be expensive (I don't know how much metal cloth costs), but it's a longer-term solution, especially if I get more small rats while I still have this big cage.
3) There is no third solution.
Current plan: Option one, until I find where to buy the stuff for option two.
