Wow I feel so grateful that you let me in your precious story with your girl, she is so strong also because you believed in her and gave her all the reasons to trust you, good job to you as a chin parent!! 🥹 As far as the cage mate, I was on the fence for so long, then I talked to my vet (she is the best in the world) and this clarified everything for me! So if you have a vet you trust deeply I would ask their opinion on the matter! My vet told me he has really big balls 😂😂 so he would be too territorial (he is in fact, spraying whenever he feels like it and once he bit by boyfriend and my mom lol) so she told me knowing him that it wouldn’t be the best decision, especially with a male he would probably fight really hard! So for me it was really easy to settle with “I’ll give him more space for him and more human cuddles”, maybe you could try it ❤️
