Today after only one coffee, I did Dexter and Moshi's first neutral intro in the tub. I have never done intact male to baby male intro's...as all males get neutered in my almost all-female household. So I wasn't entirely sure of it. A good girl to baby girl intro, is baby running after the girls, pouncing on them, running under them...getting pinned and thoroughly sniffed, and occasionally pinned down until they eep to stop them from being too obnoxious. I expected something similar or maybe a bit more tense.
So when son and dad met, they didn't sniff each other, no fur, no pouncing, following on Moshi's part but getting the 2 of them into the shot together wasn't really happening much...:roll:
Honestly, it was like they had known and lived together their entire lives. :shock: Is this just the calm before the storm or does this happen?
Btw, Moshi will be 5 weeks on Saturday and he and Dad Dexter are going to Amanda in NY once I can organize a transport/rat train
Size difference
Not that much really
Lovely sweet Dexter loves being stroked as he eats...
Moshi loves his wheel...Dex likes my hand
Then Dexter tries the wheel
Here we all are, but Dex is more interested in the wheel. :doh: Do you think I should expect any future problems or do you think I can do a couple more neutrals and then toss them in a new cage on Sunday? I should separate on Saturday but I won't be home and since Moshi is the only boy he's going to be shell-shocked being alone
