Just did the playpen thing and it went nicely. No fighting through the bars or anything. So I took it a step further and put Matrim in with his brothers in the big playpen. I know it was stupid and could have ended bad. But it didn't! They acted like they never were separated! I returned them all to their own cages, the three boys to their 100L and Matrim to the 62.5L. Tomorrow I will split cage them in the 100L after a good cage cleaning, making sure that they won't get territorial with him. After split caging them for a few days, I'll remove the divider and see how it goes. If the three act territorial, I'm back to square one.
