Is my new rat's constant chattering normal or a health concern?

Question

I have a new rat, he's just under a year old, and he's much more talkative than the other two. He doesn't sound sick, he is a very happy and bouncy baby, just very talkative and after mixed reviews on it being a personality thing or a health thing, I figured I'd ask a professional.

Comgratulations on your new pet! Nothing can substitute for a careful examination by your vet, however, if the little guy looks healthy, is eating and going to the toilet well, and is nice and active, then it sounds like he is in great health. There will be variation in all animals so I imagine he is just a lot more vocal. Keep a close eye on him and you can always get him examined to be sure.
