Intro?

[Veggie]

I'm just waiting on some last decisions on adopting 2 baby girls from Lyndsy (henry's_mum) The babies are about 6-7 weeks and they'd be cage mates with my girl, Stitches, who is 1 year.
I've done intros before, but never older, with younger.
Any tips on how to intoduce them? I don't want the babies getting hurt, but i've never seen Stitches being violent.
And anyone take a guess on how long the intro will take?

EDIT: I am getting them now. Fure Sure

There is some great info on the Dapper Rat web site:

The basic idea is to take things one step at a time. The babies will probably not be bothered but your older girl might be territorial.
henry's_mum will also have some ideas.

If the babies are 8 weeks old, there should be no problems... especially since Stitches is not a bully of a girl.
I would intro them on neutral ground, a place where Stitches has never been... do this for a couple of days, if all goes well, scrub the cage down thoroughly and add them all together. Make sure your cage is big enough for 3 girls.

CongRATS!!! :joy:
