As most of you know we lost our darling boy Luigi recently, and although it's still very raw, we know Mario needs a new friend. We are planning on getting a new baby within the next few weeks, we're not sure which one yet but I will post when it's all settled.
My question is, do you think it will be a good idea to put the baby in a temporary Midwest cage alongside Mario's bigger C & C cage just until they become accustomed to each other. I plan on cutting a piece of coroplast to fit the bottom of the Midwest to strengthen it and also to stop any staining. After a couple of weeks I will try the tried and trusted method of introducing them on thoroughly cleaned neutral ground, for several hours, and then if all goes well, housing them together in the thoroughly cleaned bigger C & C cage.
Also, do you think the bar spacing on the Midwest is safe for a little one? for those who don't know, it's not cubed, it's vertical spaced bars. I got the cage on Ebay for $25 with free shipping, so it's always something I can store for future use if need be.
Our sweet Luigi is resting at the bottom of our garden now, I'm going to plant pansies all around him. We're waiting on his memorial stone to arrive so we can complete his remembrance garden.
Wish me luck!!
