Help my move my baby rats.

Whats the easiest way to house 4.6 freshly weened rats together in 3 vacant tubs. I read that if you put sib males in the same encloser they wont fight, but for some reason I dont believe that. I dont have the extra space on my rack (I just freakin built this thig too!) so I was wondering the safest way to house them and pair them up. Thanks.

Weaners should get along fine.... I only raise them to 5 weeks anyways... then they get gassed. How long you planning on keeping them?

I have never had my male rats fight. Ever. They scuffle and work out pecking order once in a while, but I have never had any real fights.

boy's in one tub and girls in the other. That is how I do it anyway. Boys and girls get along fine.

Well the backstory to this is I purchased 1.2 rats about a month ago. 1 of the females was knocked up when I got her and spit out all dumbos. My final goal as long as I dont get any more snakes is 5.20 breeding colony. So I am just really trying to figure out the social situation of rats. I know I accidentely got a male mixed up with some mice I baught a while ago and put 2 in the same tank after my few of my snakes refused them. Next day one was torn apart in a corner obviously dead. I just would like to keep this from happening since id rather them be food than trash.
