Backstory:
My boyfriend and I hear our chin make many calls in the night and when he is sleeping (really cute, he does slight movements and many sounds). He looked up some sounds and we are thinking he is lonely. I spend quite a lot of time with him when I am home, but he will still make sounds and chew his bars when we go to bed. We want to get him a cage mate. I decided not to go for getting a second until we had an FN 142 so we could divide the cage easily if there was an issue, and now we bought one last night.:dance3: ChieChie is a standard grey about 2 years old (we are guessing January or February as he was adopted).
:hmm:The Question:
My question is do you guys/gals think it would be better to get a male or a female buddy? I know if we choose female that he needs to be neutered, and that it can be a dangerous procedure. Logan is very cautious about getting a female because he is really worried about the spraying. Do you think ChieChie could get along with another male and how old should he be? The second chin is supposed to be my birthday present, but he really wants a beige so thats what we are looking for.
ChieChie is really loving right now, always wanting our attention and I think a buddy would be a good way for him to be less lonely while I am at work. Im not supposed to buy anything for a month since I bought the cage with some money from savings, so where would you send me to get our new baby next month?
Sorry for taking your time and thanks for any help :thumbsup:
