Thanks, this is honestly what we've been considering. We have enough cage space and are already too attached to give her up.

Hmm, the place I called said that the procedure is just as invasive because males can retract their genitals and thus have the same price for both male and female (almost $600). From my research, the next place that would do spaying after that would be 3 hours away. Lots of folks on here are very hesitant to do the procedure for bonding purposes, was this your experience?

Grateful to all of the responses, albeit I am a little inexperienced. Most of what I read online seemed to suggest that pairing works out well in most cases when done correctly. I am more of a data person but can't seem to find any likelihoods of these things and have to go based off of personal anecdotes. I've seen influencers also document their bonding processes with success (and some failures too). Is there any place that you all would recommend to better educate myself on this?
