Intro Chin roomates

[rs117]

I tried searching and their is lots of info but scattered. Short story long lol

So we have two female Chins both a year old got them sepperatly off of CL. We have had them a month and they are in their own cage in the same room at this point. We have started letting them out togther to run around. There was a bit of chases and jumping at first and now they just kinda to thier own thing. The goal is to put them in the same cage ( they both had cage mates in the past ) and wondered if one way is better than another. I bought a dbl Ferret Nation that they will hopefully go into in a week or so.
So this is will be a new home for them both.
Do we put one on the top and one on the bottom and let them find each other ?
Do we put them put on the same floor the same time ?
They have their own house ..... keep them side by side or dif floors ?
thanks

You can put them on the same floor at first and see how they do.

Make sure the cage you put them in has been completely cleaned. Whichever chin the cage smells like will cause that chinchilla to be territorial of the cage and the intro may not go so well.

thank you
things have gone well for the week or so.. they have settled along great together .. knock on wood
it was a new cage completely cleaned with vinger.
I did swap cages a couple times as well.. right or wrong before the intro to one cage.
