Buddha & Moose (:
Okay, so today was the first time that Buddha and Moose have actually been caged together. They have had their cages side by side for 2 weeks, and today, we cleaned Buddha's CN really well with water and vinegar.
There's 2 of everything, so they don't seem to be fighting over objects. They are doing pretty well I think, but they occasionally get really close in each other's face and sniff each other's noses. Sometimes they push each other's nose a little bit, but don't make any noises, so I don't know if that's normal? There has been maybe 2 or 3 little annoyance squeaks since this morning, but not too much. Buddha tries to mount Moose (establishing dominance?) and Moose usually lets him do it, but sometimes will either run away or kind of turn around to get Buddha off of him.
My question is, what kind of behavior do I need to be looking for? It's kind of hard for me to tell whether their actions are aggressive, or just trying to figure each other out. Do I need to consider trimming whiskers? I have never introduced chins before, so I just need some advice.
