I have been thinking about getting her a dwarf cage mate. Now I know that some if ya'll are freaking out right now but I have done this once before and I wouldn't do it haphazardly. I would definitely keep a close eye on them and by all means give the dwarf a few places that only it could fit through in case she gave chase.
Simon was a Campbell's and he was up in age, but he shared a bin with Mocha and they actually got along really well. He even acted like a surrogate to her pups when she'd leave the nest.
Being that Snickers is 2 years old I worry that Mindy is going to get comfortable with Snickers and when she does leave for the bridge, it's going to bring Mindy right back to where she is now. I don't know what else to do? :'(
