Bella and Tarquin have now been together almost 24 hours (at 10.30am it will be) after their slow bond all week. They'll be staying on the landing/bathroom most of today, before I put them in their joined up cages together.
There has been no aggression and both seem very relaxed this morning.
Could there still be problems when they go in a more confined space? Or can I assume that they're now bonded?
I can't keep them on the landing indefinitely and I have to go to work tomorrow so I need to feel confident about leaving them in their cages. As I have no experience of this, the final stage of them being together in two cages seems to be the scariest bit.
Breakfast is a bit of a worry too. No food aggression, but as usual Bell has scoffed hers, T has had a few and left the rest. I've moved them out of the way as I don't want Bell getting fat. Today I can hand-feed them to him, but I can't do that Monday to Friday. He may have to have his pellets in the evening instead.
Sorry for all the questions - I just want to make sure I get it right.
