That is a cage calculator, put in the cage dimensions and it will tell you approximately how many rats that cage can comfortably hold. As for Martins, I have a R-695 and have had up to 5 girls in it comfortably, it would be just fine for 3 boys. Its bigger than you would imagine from just seeing pictures. Although I like my Martins cage I absolutely cannot live without my Ferret Nation cage by Midwest. Doors swing all the way open and omg is it sooo much easier to clean. Not to mention more room for rats. It can be modified with smaller wire inside for smaller rats but I wouldn't recommend putting anything smaller than an adult female in there without said mods as it is a ferret cage with 1" bar spacing.
As for intros, earlier the better honestly, larger boys will perceive a baby as less of a threat but make sure you never leave them unattended as it is very easy for adults to get a bit rough on the little one without even realizing it. Good luck!
