[Oliver's Mom]

Thank you for the advice. Oliver's cage is approximately 50" x 51" on the lower level and 29" x 30" on the upper. It's a cage a friend made years ago and is working out well for us.

I was thinking of finding Oliver a friend when I posted originally and am glad to know that was the right decision. Being that he is already two I really wanted to find a young male and hopefully eliminate the dominance issue. I found a four month old a couple days ago and after a few hours of Oliver pushing the new kid around they seem to be getting along well. Chase, the youngster, doesn't talk much and is really skittish right now but seems to enjoy attention when he gets it. I’m guessing it will just take some time. I do see a huge difference in Oliver's behavior. He talks non-stop and moves around a lot more. He has also picked up veggie time and meets me at the side of the cage ready to eat when I call to him. I've picked up many tips already on this site so thank you again for the reassurance.
