: I'm sorry to be covering old ground, but, I need advice on
: the best way to introduce them.
: I have my new little girl in a separate cage, in the same
: room and plan to keep it that way until she settles in. Once
: she becomes comfortable, I plan to start switching their
: blankets and very slowly let them start playing together.
: 1. Should I keep them separate for a predetermined amount
: of time just to make sure she doesn't give him some kind
: of sickness?
: 2. Are there any other things I should be doing, to ensure
: they will become fast friends?
: 3. How long does it usually take before a new pair gets used to
: each other?
: Any advice would be appreciated!
: ~W~ The best way to introduce them is to sit their cages side by side after being in the same room together for a few days. Personally, I would wait about a month to put the two in the same cage. This allows time for you to bond with her before the other glider. They make better pets if you do this.
