Ok, it is much easier to type on the computer then on my phone >.<
One thing that might help is to have Chip and Dale out in a separate place from where you will be doing intros before you start the intros. If he is anything like his sisters (and it sounds like he is) he has a tonne of energy... like a crazy amount. Try to run him down a bit before the intros, especially if the boys you will be introing them to are calm and nice. I successfully introed Tilly and Lucie to 2 other groups. They are rude little monsters who do not know how to act around other rats. Shelagh is right, I was/we were not successful in teaching them rattiquette :giggle: BUT they are thriving in the larger group. Since Tilly and Lucie have been in a larger group, their "silliness" has really declined. I mean, they are the same nut cases, but they are more subdued. They now get along with everyone (lol mostly) and everyone seems really happy!
It does sound like Chip is exactly like Tilly. Tilly boxed and had minor scuffles with the others when she was introed but she worked it out with them, and is now quite happy. She still has little confrontations with others now and then, but she is doing better... I'm sure Chip will figure it out - but he really needs a larger group.
Poor Dale! Tell Chip I do not approve of him picking on his brother! *tut tut*
