Ben and Tobias aren’t getting on well enough to live together full time yet but introductions are looking promising and there have been some adorable huddles

Degu pups are so full of energy. Can someone bring me coffee? 😅
When your food is bigger than you
The introductions between Tobias and the pups have gone really well. While they were in separate cages they showed interest in each other but no aggression, during their first face to face meeting in neutral territory Ben and Zach were both submissive to Tobias and again there were no signs of aggression. They’ve been in a cage together all afternoon and after a lot of mounting and other dominance behaviour they huddled up together. The whole process has gone smoothly, I was really nervous about putting Tobias and the pups together because Tobias is huge but he’s accepted Ben and Zach. Hopefully things will remain calm as the pups approach puberty, but at least for now things are looking good and Tobias doesn’t have to be alone any more.

Zach looks as though he forgot to put on 3 of his socks this morning
Everyone, I’d like you to meet Zach and Ben 😊
