I've read a lot about getting two chins to bond lately. I've read the various methods and theories on how to make it happen. Frankly, what I've read concerns me. It seems like it's not likely to find a friend for Squirrel who could be a companion in his cage.
While I'm up for the care of more than one Chin, my primary reason for getting another one would be for Squirrel. I am not crazy about the idea of another cage, but am willing to have another one if it's necessary. (I understand the initial need for one for quarantine and until the two bond.) But, if the odds are slight that Squirrel will get along with another little guy, I would rather not go down this road. If the odds were more along the lines of 80% that they would get along and 20% that they wouldn't, I would risk it. Not so much if the odds are the other way around.
Those of you who have bonded non-siblings later in life, can you please comment on how frequently it works or fails?
