Hello everyone!
My name is Maureen and I have an amazing little man "Boo". He is about 5 years old and we've had him since he was less than a year old our daughter who was home schooled so he's always had lots of attention and is super friendly and doesn't mind being held and will sit on our shoulder while he has his out of cage play times. Has full run of the spare bedroom, he's pretty much king of the castle!! LOL
We were just asked to take another chin (Harry). The owners do not have time to care for him and kids have lost interest, Harry's cage mate was killed by the dog after escaping the cage (they said he chewed threw the plastic so I honestly have no idea what type of cage he's in but I'm afraid it could be some small hamster type cage if it's plastic! Good lord). Now they said Harry's cage is in the storage room and they just don't have the time to care for him. It broke our hearts to hear this and of course my husband and I immediately said we're taking him!
I'm looking for recommendations for a specific cage(s). (currently look at the Midwest Homes for Pets - Double Unit Cage, which can eventually become 3 stories, but can be 2 separate single cages also) or should I buy 2 new single cages so that there is no prior scents or would the separated multi-level cage be good?
I just want to get Harry to our home as soon as possible. The physical introduction can happen slowly once he is here. I just want to get him to a place where he will be included in all social aspects and not locked in a room alone.
I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions and recommendations on how to make this a healthy and happy transition for Harry and Boo.
Thank you,
Maureen, Joe & Boo
