Quite by chance I have managed to introduce two bucks successfully!
The cage I have is a wire double storey affair so I rigged it - just to save space - so that the Daddy could live downstairs and the new boy his son only a few weeks old could live upstairs.
As I watched them the baby stood on his food bowl stuck his rear end over the edge and peed!! Which of course fell into the Daddy's part of the cage. I twigged that the smell of poo and wee from the baby hitting the Daddy's des res might be helpful.
So they have lived like this for about a week and today I put them together. The Daddy was curious about the little one - mostly to see if it was a girl I think!
Was so funny tho 'cos every time he got near the baby it squeaked and cowered and tried to kick him away by sticking a back leg out!! :lol:
But for all the squaeking the Daddy wasn't hurting the baby at all.
Now they both curled up in the wee hoosie - hoorah!!
