First thanks to Bourbon for the site, and Dagny, Mary/Beck and Rockismom for the advice. My Lilbit is quite a spoiled creature and She is not used to her cage door being closed when she is up. I have given her a small set of chimes in her cage that she rings when she wakes, ( or any other time she wants attention) to let me know its time to open the door and it stays open all night for her to come and go at her leisure, she has a room I have set up with apple and pear tree limbs, Some really thick rope dangling here and there and assorted toys ect. I really dont want to take that away from her and I dont have another room to be that liberal in. I am picking up Gilbert in about a week and I think what I will do is clean that room out as best as I possibly can ( I use dishsoap to clean her room cause I'm afraid of using anything stronger what do you guys use?) and when Gil arrives I am going to put them together in that room in their seperate cages for a couple of nights and listen for what they have to say. I locked Bittys cage last night for about an hour ( you should have heard the chimes, when I opened the door she ignored me completely for about an hour and for an hour after that she practicaly shot me a bird) and I will continue to get her used to the door being shut for the next week. After a couple of nights, if all sounds well I will let Bitty out to investigate her new companion and if they dont fight thru the bars of his cage I will move a new cage in and take things from there. I realize this plan has a lot of holes in it but my only other option is to move both of their cages into this room for a couple of days and that would definatly discombobulate Bitty. So how about it peoples? I am looking for any input at all because you guys are much more experienced than myself and I really like most of what I have read here, thanks for hearing me out Kimi
O yea, one other thing, what about the inbreeding issue? like if they where to have joeys and daddy w/ daughter type stuff. From what I have read, in the wild this would happen anyway Do you seoerate their children from them? as I said before I have no intentions of selling off any of my friends, I would have to really know and trust someone to let them give a home to any of my charges.
