Hi

I want to reunite Waffle with the boys, he's wound has heeled really quickly
which I am very surprised at but happy at the same time, when I took him
from the boys he was fine with them and they were fine with him so would it
be okay just to place him back in the cage or should I do it some other
way????

I do recommend an intro first, do it on their regular play area from
this you will see if how they act together. Then I would make sure the
cage is completely scrubbed down before adding the gang.

Definitely do the intro on neutral territory like the sofa, bed or bath, and
I recommend having some thick gloves to hand just incase you have to break
up any scraps.  If they get on ok outside the cage and you want to try
putting them together inside I would still err on the side of caution - make
sure the cage is thoroughly washed and move the toys, sleeping box etc
around.  Then keep a very close eye on things.  You could also try dabbing
them with vanilla essence near the gential area and on the back of their
necks to cover their sent and help with the bonding process. Good luck!

thanks both, I put the boys on the sofa and they all got a long great, while
they were all playing I cleaned the big cage out, Mr Chips decided to go
back in his cage on his own so I put Waffle in with him and then Mr Tiddles
and they are all fine so now Waffles is now reunited with Mr Chips, I am
still working with Billy to try and calm him down a bit.
