    Hi and thanks for the replies. Yes I'm aware of having the introduction neutral, I have a complete other room that I will do that it, they'll have free roam with no obstacles and tons of space. I know i need to make the cage like brand new before putting both back in. I use the vinegar water...

    General Should I introduce them now? help please

I don't think my heart would let me tap her on the nose to be honest, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt but I think it would hurt me more :D I managed to train Ruby, my boy, to recognise the sound when I tap my hand on the sofa that signals...

    Thank you! Well I had a look and I'm pretty sure it's a boy but I wasn't sure if it was safe to so the slight pressure test so I didn't try that? Can I? Yes he is so much like Chilly!
