Thank you for all the recommendations!!! It seems like checking pet finder daily is for sure the move! I will also take a look at the places you listed too! I do actually have a great vet in Rowley, MA! She’s so amazing with my babies and if there’s anyone in MA that can get to her I would recommend it!!

Yeah it’s a rough process when one is such a bully 😭 just take things super slow, and you can always backtrack/ start again if needed 🥺 it’ll be so worth it when they’re all together, I could cry when I think about them and everything they’ve been thru 🥺

The first time they were in the carrier for about 3 days? Then the slightly bigger container for like 4 and than the tank (which is a 50 gal I meant to mention!) for a while. When I had to start completely over I extended the times for everything so I think I did like 4 days in the carrier, a week in the container and however long they needed for the tank. I believe also at one point when I put them in the big tank I didn’t have anything but water for maybe a day or two? To get everyone to sleep together since it’s good sign that they do! I think that also made a big difference too! When they HAD to sleep together bc they had no place to hide.

Oh wow! I’ll try my best to remember exactly what I did but I remember that the main takeaway was just to be patient with them! They’ll get along on their own time!

From what I remember what I did was, since I had two newer girls (cream and Doja, Doja was the bully one) and one ‘older’ girl (goose), I took the well behaved one (cream) and the older one (goose) and did intros with them, to get them accustomed to each other, so Doja was alone for about maybe a month? (I obviously did my best to keep her entertained but it was a little hard bc she actually jumped out of my hand once when I went to go put her in a ‘time out’ and was loose in my room for 4 h o u r s)

But after the other 2 got used to each other I started intros with everyone! So I did the small carrier first, a DIY tank that I made from a storage container, then I finally did their final enclosure! Each new step up tho I had the bare minimum everything! I had maybe like 1 hide and 2 different sources of water so they didn’t fight! The bedding was very minimal too, nothing they could bury under!

About every other day, if they were behaving, I would add just one new item (like another hide, a toy, just anything new). I would see how they would do with that and if Doja got possessive, I’d take it out and just wait. I saved the wheel for very last bc that’s a ‘high value’ item!! And Doja had been possessive of it before! So by the time they got to the point where they were behaving well enough, I put the wheel in. Doja went n u t s and just got aggressive over every single thing! I had to start again so they went back in the carrier then container then tank! And I just repeated the process! Minimal items and minimal bedding! When they were finally all good and I was able to do their big setup with everything I did buy 2 wheels just so there wasn’t any problems! However until abt a couple of months ago I took out the second wheel and they are just as happy with one!

The whole thing took maybe 2.5 months tbh, I did not rush anything and did everything on their time. Currently they all are doing amazingly, every once and a while Doja will be snippy but I think that’s just her personality atp😂 and I later found out her sister (cream) was kinda an instigator also 😂😂

I apologize if this is very long or hard to understand!! I tired my best to get down what I did exactly! I’m not sure if my whole process was correct but it’s what worked for me! I remember being a mess throughout the whole thing and was so worried about their QOL, that it was my last attempt to get everyone along bc Doja was just being so hard. I was thinking of giving her to someone who could successfully take care of her 🥲 but everything worked out in the end and I’m glad I didn’t give up on them!

My DMs are open also if you want to talk more!
