Introducing a male pup

[londongerbils]

Hello there,

over a week or so I’ve been introducing my 2yo male to a male pup of 7-8 weeks. I finally put them in the same tank today and my 2yo has been really gentle with the pup. However, the little pup just keeps squeaking at him all the time. Is this just for attention? The little pup keeps grooming his face also.

ive Never had a pup before so I’m not sure.

Some young pups do do a lot of squeaking - trying to make sure they appear very weak and helpless so the older one takes them in and cares for them.

How are they doing now - it has been a few days since you wrote this post?
