Kolchak and Nibbler

DanceswithElvis · Jan 5, 2014

It looks like I've finally introduced the two without issue! They are living in the same cage and only going through mounting behavior rituals. But they are behaving and actually grooming each other and when Nibbler hops on my shoulder while I'm changing their food, Kolchak and him sing to each other, then groom each other when Nibbs hops back in.

A picture of the two this morning. Apparently Nibbs thought Kolchak's bed was the best place to sleep. (Yeah, using carefresh atm, I have an upper respiratory infection so pine and aspen are out until I'm over it

They aren't eating it, just randomly picking it up and tossing it through the bars at the dogs).

White one looks so forlorn being excluded out there.

At least she stays outside tho. When i try to give my girls a sand bath, if im not careful they will both try to get into the same one, and there is not enough room in there for them both.

Here's a better picture of them together.

You won't believe it but little Nibbler now outweighs Kolchak by almost 100 grams! I didn't realize how much he had grown since Kolchak had come home with us.
