    It depends on what's wrong with the rats, but on the safe side, I'd keep them apart.

    I think they all have R.I. due to the fact i probably introduced a sick colony... it sucks, would the asf catch R.I. from the rats?

    It depends on what caused the URIs. If it's bacterial, probably not, if it's viral, probably.

    So to be on the safe side, I'd separate them.
