The eye shouldn't affect her interaction with other rats provided it's fully healed. If you get another rat, introduce them gradually in a common space and just watch how they interact with each other. You could also keep them in adjoining cages for a bit so they get used to each other. And obviously, if you get a male rat, make sure he's neutered so you don't end up with surprise baby rats :)
Younger rats are generally easier to introduce, but it's really luck of the draw depending on both rats' temperaments. Whichever you end up getting, just keep an eye on them for the first week just to make sure they get along. Some fighting is ok as long as they're not drawing blood. Hope that helps :)
Ty :D also should it be adult or baby?
