I am currently in the process of attempting to introduce two females. They have been in the split cage since Monday and so far they seem to be doing okay. When I switch their sides, they each sleep in the bed the other vacated, and they are sniffing each other through the mesh. I was thinking about taking them out on monday and putting them together breifly to see how they do (it's easier for me to separate them in case they don't if I place them in the large "play" tub i got rather than in the cage. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should look for to make sure they really are getting along? So far they seem to not be trying to fight. I don't want to even attempt to put them together thought until it has been a week. And because I've heard females are harder to repair I just wanted to ask. on a different note, I seem to be making gerbil converts of my whole extended family. My sister is thinking about getting a pair for her and her daughter, and my SIL is thinking about getting a second pair. AND so are my aunt and uncle. So I may be able to home a few of them (although there are a few I want to keep because they are my babies) and have some more room for my future breeding pair. I didn't want to start breeding again just to get more littel cuties if I couldn't take care of them or find homes for some of them. So I have the pleasure of introducing my family to the joys of gerbils as well as knowing that my gerbies will have good homes and be able breed some more again. just a little update.
