New robo's for M-O

Toria · 06-19-2009, 06:43 AM

I posted at the weekend that my robo EVE-A had died

Her sister M-O doesn't do very well on her own, she really does enjoys company. So souffle recommended this site, http://www.oakfarmrabbitsandrodents.co. ... ucing.html in the past

So we got carried away and got three new ones. They were SO SO tame when they came home and two a white, or platinum i think it's called. I know you are meant to leave them for 2 days and we did with EVE-A and M-O but these guys were playing and taking food out my hand and one let me hold them and was completly calm

So I tried 'introducing' them this morning. I thought i'd follow the step by step but they got passed my barrier i built.

So i took it out an di watched M-O like a hawk ready to sweep her out and the first sign of trouble.

However M-O hasn't attacked one of them, they all had a good sniff and played together and then i woke (fell asleep in the middle of the day heh he) to find them all mashed into one of their little beds. It was adorable. It's been breaking my heart to see M-O not eating and sitting all alone. So i have 2 bin cages, if they continue to get along like this then i will make it into a double decker cage. I'm gunna watch them SO SO closely for the next few days and make sure they are happy and M-O behaves herself, but M-O has always been bullied rather than the bullier and also she's very well natured. Feel asleep in my arms last night

I hope EVE-A never thinks we are replacing her, i went and told her in the garden all about the new hammies and cages

i just couldn't stand to see M-O so lonely and they are SO cut in a big group!

But i would like to introduce Sam, meredith and taylor, with little M-O too

It's a video btw

Awww, they are gorgeous! I am jealous because I really wanted robos that lived together - unfortunately my two were different sexes and had to be separated, and I think they're used to being alone now.

well done, they're great. The lighter ones are called Husky or White-faced. When they are so little like that, an older one will often accept them. It could still kick off when they get bigger though, so keep an eye on them. If you get past about 6 months then you're probably in the clear.

Yeah i'll keep a very close eye. Had a fair amount of experience with M-O and EVE-A as they started fighting alot.

I have some more pictures

Thank you. My boyfriend took them, he's a photographer

Aw, little sweeties! M-O looks very happy.

I would advise against a double-decker cage, although robos rarely fall out, giving them two seperate floor spaces can lead to problems with one becoming territorial and stopping the others having access.

Toria · 06-20-2009, 03:12 AM

problem is though that the cage is too small really for all four. I can't put more than one of everything in there, and i can't fit one with a bigger floor space.
Because i have two shallow bins i was just gunna add a large tube up to the next level. I was gunna make sure it was big though because M-O used to sleep in the smaller tube in the IMAC and eve-a couldn't get passed and that would start fights...
