Spudsey has been with Squirrel for over a month....and although a bit of grooming and sitting with each other took place to start with, I'm not sure if its a match made in heaven:? Squirrel is quite a grumpy man sometimes and although most of the time they are not near each other he does occasionally try jumping on her but because shes a tiny wildie she always manages to outrun or jump over him!:lol:
But when I put them back in their cage at night there is always a bit of a scuffle when they get in and Spudsey seems to spend most of the time in one position looking out of the cage! Now it was Squirrels old cage but I disinfected it and painted it all inside and outside before putting them both in it (about 6 weeks after it was just Squirrels hutch) so not sure if this is why? But Spudsey never seems to do her 'happy jumps' or mad dashes anymore.....though she now has 2 cats to contend with as well who find her very interesting indeed......
sorry long post
