Q & A / Introducing three chins
« on: January 18, 2017, 01:49:32 AM »
Hi everyone
I'd like some advice on introducing three chins.
I have one at the moment. She is 14. Her sister passed away about 5 years ago so she has been on her own since then.
I've now got the opportunity to adopt two more (1 year and 3 years - both female). They are living together.
Do you think it will be harder to introduce them to my current chin because 2 of them already have a bond? The last thing I want to do is distress my chin... but she is so relaxed and friendly that I think she would enjoy the company of other chins.
Any views/advice would be great. I'm torn!
I have read up about introducing chinchillas and already have another cage so that's not a problem. My concern is that it will be difficult to introduce them when 2 already have a bond.
Thanks
Chloe
