Are my babies playing or fighting?

Baby rats are loud, obnoxious and playful, they are rarely aggressive to each other no matter how bad it sounds. Playing is a way to learn agility, strengthen their bodies and also start learning where they are going to end up in the pecking order. Some owners are concerned as their babies screech and play rough, but this is very normal.

Here are 2 five week old girls having a great time, shrieking and playing hard.
