Ok, we've had Blossom for almost 2 weeks now.She's still in the ex-lrg dog crate that we moved next to Benny's cage.We're hoping to get her a cage made within the next few weeks.

Benny's still doing good and most important and he's still eating.They're actually eating together b/c I put her food across from Benny.When Benny's out they touch noses through the side of the crate(I usedthe top peice with the vent holes in it and made a top for it out ofgrids). The only thing he does is dig at her b/c it doesn't seemaggressive to me. He's also jumping up in the air again.

What I was wondering is...is it a bad idea to let her out in the roomwhen he's up? I've been taking her to a different room all but one timeand Benny didn't see her that time. When I got home tonight, I went toplay with them and feed them. As soon as I lifted the top off ofBlossom's crate she jumpedout and took off. Benny was sittingthere just munching and she ran over to his cage. I was trying to catchher b/c everytime she ran over there he would run back and forth andstart digging and chewing on the grids....that's not too suprising b/che chews on the all the time, inside the cage and out.

It got me wondering if that would make him mad and make intro's harderwhen that happens. He didn't seem to worried by it when I let him out.He hopped around smelling everywhere she had been. Then went back tofinish his food.

What do ya'll think?

 

if he is acting all goofy andtwitterpated when she comes near thecage and isnt acting aggressivei would give them a few minutesand see what happens , remembertho long sleeves and a good pair ofgloves just in case . goodLuck keep us posted please .

I guess tomorrow,I'll try letting herout after he's decided to go back in and see what he does. They touchnoses alot & Ikind of think he'll calmdownbut it's really hard to tell what he's thinking. Healways looks grumpy, even when he's bouncing....lol.

Well, this is what he did tonight...I'm not sureif it's good or bad. I was trying towatch his ears butthey're hard to read when they drag the ground.

When I first let her out, he was eating and back in his cage(he gotplaytime first). When she got close to him, he would dig a few timesand stop then chew the grids and dig some more. She wasn't worried byit and would bounce around a few times then do another lap around theroom. Everytime she ran by his cage, he would run too. Whenever she wason the other side of the room he would lay down and eat some hay. A fewtimes, he even went to his top floor. After her playtime, I let him outagain. He checked out everything that she touched and rubbed his chinand the side of his face on it.
