: I'm sorry to be covering old ground, but, I need advice on

: the best way to introduce them.

: I have my new little girl in a separate cage, in the same

: room and plan to keep it that way until she settles in. Once

: she becomes comfortable, I plan to start switching their

: blankets and very slowly let them start playing together.

: 1. Should I keep them separate for a predetermined amount

: of time just to make sure she doesn't give him some kind

: of sickness?

: 2. Are there any other things I should be doing, to ensure

: they will become fast friends?

: 3. How long does it usually take before a new pair gets used to

: each other?

: Any advice would be appreciated!

: ~W~ The best way to introduce them is to sit their cages side by side after being in the same room together for a few days. Personally, I would wait about a month to put the two in the same cage. This allows time for you to bond with her before the other glider. They make better pets if you do this.
