Didnt know where to put the thread (sorry if its in the wrong place)

Well it has been about 3 1/2 weeks since I got Rigby and he has been feeling much better for a week on Saturday. I would like to introduce Rigby to Raisen, and I would like to know when I can. How mucher longer do I have to wait. This has been torcher, I just want to see them together. (But torcher in a good way:biggrin: ). I am going to introduce them in my floor in my room, I have a big gate kind of thing that they can run around in however they wont run off. Anywho I just need to know when to introduce them. Anyone have any incite?

Sounds like a good plan. I'd put the cages close together too so they can get to know each other through the wire...I mean right up next to each other type of thing. Then after a day or so, if they seem to be doing well getting to know each other through the cage then let them out in the play area together and watch closely.
If you've had him 3 1/2 weeks then this weekend should be a sufficient time...generally a minimum of 4 weeks of quarantine is what is done when bringing in new chins.
I'm sure they will become fast buddies very quickly!

I agree with what was already told to ya! Im sure they'll do fine too. Just let them play together for a few days before leaving over night alone... Just to have more security that they are gonna do okay together.

Alrighty well Raisen and Rigby met last night on my floor, and they did ok. Rigby was a little afraid of Raisen. They didnt bite each other, but they nipped. They didnt mind each other, aand were not worried to much about each other. How long does it usually take for them to like each other. I am just no sure, what the signs are for them not getting along, and what the signs are for them getting along.

I just use a few days to let mine play together. They are gonna chase each other and sometimes mount eachother to try to show dominance. There is gonna be fur slips too usually. But as long as they aren't biting and bleeding by it I am sure they are doing alright.
