Hi
Just started the bonding process between Bernard and Tilly.
(never done it before so worried!)
Started by putting Bernard in his cage and putting a cover over it. Then brought Tilly in to the room to have a sniff around so that they could smell each other but not see each other.
Bernard was freaking out because he never gets locked in his cage so he was chewing the bars and making a racket.
Tilly wasn't bothered by the noise Bernard was making but just hopped around the room exploring.
I picked Tilly up and put her in her carry case (she didn't seem bothered by any of this) and then out her back in her cage in the other room.
I have now let Bernard out and he is sniffing the areas that she has been and I think he ate some of her poop
Then he let me stroke him, I gave him some apple treat and he went binkying round the room!!
he has now voluntarily gone back into his cage to finish his breakfast
(this has all happened in the space of about 20mins)
I'm excited!!
Going to give them a rest then put the covers over Tilly and let Bernard sniff around her room.
Anyone got any advise/ ideas?
Thank you
