So I was going to create a lovely long post and planned on updating daily as upon reading it takes weeks/months to clan two females, this is on bonding my 2 year old female with a 8wk female.
I quarantined the baby girl, and took her to the vet for a check up. Vet gave the all clear so I put the cages next to each other with the wire mesh touching so they could sniff through the bars….. all the while my wonderful father is making me a split cage, he did a wonderful job I have to say…. Once a day I would put each girl in each others cage for 10-15mins and after 3 days however the girls were sitting next to each other all day and night so I decided to let them meet, I was panicking but kept my cool, I allowed them to play in the pen for 15mins and before I put them back I let them smell each other’s cages and have a run about.
So day 4 dad drops split cage off (he’s spent a lot of time on this it looks beautiful) i get it ready, same stuff in each side food, a water bottle, 1 toilet tube, and some bedding, I put peach (old girl) and Betty (baby) on each side of the divider
The Split cage is pretty tall I didn’t put the mesh lid on yet as I walked to the kitchen to put the rubbish in the bin, gone less that 30 secs, my older girl had climbed the mesh divider and the baby was grooming her I thought I would see what happened, nothing they just curled up and went to sleep….
Total cost
£60 on a temp tank for baby
£30 for the plastic box to create split cage
Free Chicken wire type stuff dad had in garden
£3 cable ties to hang bottle
My dad spending 1 week making the thing for them to use it exactly 17minutes, priceless!!!
So all in all they created a clan in 4days!
I’m not sure if this is normal but it’s been 1 month now and they are loving life!
