First post =)
I had my two girls since about five years ago. Unfortunately, one of them passed away due to what is thought to be an infection. The vet said there was nothing more we could have done and that she was very well taken care of (I needed to hear that). So now I have just one. I adopted two from a rescue shelter that were...sort of bonded. More so they just get along. I have had them separate for the time period so they don't infect anyone and such.
I gave the surviving girl (of my original pair) a dose of antibiotics just in case, better safe than sorry. She was also thoroughly examined by an exotics vet who said she was great! She is eating, drinking, and playing right now. I could tell she was upset when her cage mate didn't return for a while.
My question is, I want step by step guidance through this introduction process. I want to make sure I do everything I possibly can to give these girls the best shot possible in becoming cage mates. I know every situation is different, so I am asking if someone will text/email with me so that I can tell them exactly what is going on and what my next step should be.
I know all about chinchilla attitude, demeanor, and personality. Also I know when to break something up, or let it ride. What I want is for me to say "ok, A and B happened today" and for this person to say "alright, well let's try the same thing tomorrow", or "we need to try this instead".
Sorry so long, but I want to make sure everything is out there. Above all, I have patience for this. Like I said, I just want to give them the best tools to become cage mates. Lastly, I am aware that it may not ever work out. Worth a shot though!
