Well this weekend I am moving Chewy down to the basement with the other boys, so now just Richie & Stitch remain upstairs.

He is out of quaretine & I am pet sitting next week & putting those chins in the room that Chewy is in.

I am going to put his cage next to Zucca, who is also a standard that I rescued.

I am nervous just typing this, but I think I may try to introduce them and see if they can be friends. I am not good at this & I think I am just so paranoid of there being a problem that I am not patient enough. If they can live together than Chewy can stay with me. Zucca is a sweet independant boy but I have never tried to pair him. He is also a good amount larger than Chewy.

Im nervous. If anything happened to either I would have a difficult time forgiving myself.

Gonna start with cages side by side this weekend. Wish me luck.
 
I wish you massive amounts of luck! I don't have any pairs anymore :( but they all seem happy.
 
Good luck Michelle! My one and only attempt at intros didn't go so well, so I understand your trepidation. I'm in awe of breeders and others who pair their chins up on a regular basis!
 
You're petsitting for my boys :D haha but good luck! It'd be so nice if you could keep him and he could have a nice buddy :) I hope it goes well, patience is the key!
