After about a week of split caging, we put Sam and Simone together. The hand intros over the week went extremely well. Sam groomed Simone's head in my hand and Simone vibrated almost every time I held them both. One day they were both purring in my hand.
It was about a little after 9am that we took the split away. No aggression. Just a couple of small spats but that is it. They had plenty of tubes to chew. Lots of sniffing and some head grooming by Sam. After a few hours, either one would sleep in the nest while the other played around. Sam was up most of the afternoon. Just excited I guess to have a girlfriend. Right now, Simone is buried in the nest while Sam is very near Simone on top of the nest. Sam did
let Simone groom him a little. So that's good.
Sam is one year old and Simone is 2 1/2 yrs old. Simone lost her best friend Mona recently. Tank is going to the bedroom tonight as a precaution but the signs look good.
