Hi,
Yes I separated the two fighting males straight after the fight. I don't
think they ever will get along again. I left the older one (Jean-Claude) in
his cage whit Han Solo (the other male who lived with them) and the younger
male (Sonic) I moved into another cage. And my plane is to introduce a pup
to him. Do you think that would be allright? Sonic has never been violent
before so I don't think he will hurt a little pup. But I will be careful.
And you're right about that I would have lost a gerbil if I hadn't
interrupted them. I'm surten that Sonic would have killed Jean-Claude if I
hadn't disturbed them. Well luckily its over now, and both males are looking
much better! Thanks for the advice!
-Silje and the gerbils-
