I have my girl Okie who I’ve had since she was about 10 days old and she’s been doing great thanks to you all on here! I made a previous post about it but I recently found a boy who was very malnourished and dehydrated and when I found him. He’s more skittish since he was an eyes open baby. He’s doing better but is still a measly 95 grams at around 7-8 weeks old just guessing, vs my girl who’s 300 grams around the same age. I’m wondering how I should go about introducing them to each other so they can be in the same cage until it’s time to release. He gets along good and has a lot of strength for how tiny skin and bones he is. Okie has been in her cage for about a week and a half now and Dino (my new boy) has been in his temp box for the week I’ve had him to make sure he’s ok, but I know he’s going to need to be moved to a bigger cage soon. I’m wondering the steps I should take and signs I should look out for that okie is being territorial of her cage/ going to hurt him. I just worry about the size difference because of his extreme malnutrition, he is about 1/4th the size of her (not over exaggerating) but they look the same age.
