I'm wondering if I will be able to successfully integrate my now alone glider- Gimli- with my pair of gliders -Luna and Fionn.

Here's the background:
Luna and Fionn have been together for 5 years.
Luna is blind.
All three gliders have lived in the same room (but separate cages) for 2 years. A Chinese screen separates them.
Over the two years I have scent swapped pouches off and on.
They have never had actual physical contact.
Luna is an alpha. Gimli was also an alpha.
Both boys are fixed.
Luna and Gimli are similar size. Fionn is a little smaller.
Fionn is a nervous boy.

Do you think Luna and Fionn will accept Gimli?

Hi!
I think that if you do the process SLOWLY, it probably will work. But if your Luna's blind, I think you should consider the risks that follow that. Can Luna protect herself? Will her friend help? Try using a bar cage-bar-thingie-thing(so proffesional word) so they see eachother but can not hurt eachother. Be patient, baby steps are important! But note that I am not very experienced, so do not think of this as "expert advice". It's mostly reasearch and logic going on here!

Good luck!
