Have you moved their cages closer to each other? If so . . . what are you seeing as far as interactions between them all? If not . . . I see that Snowball and your other girl (sorry, still can't remember her name) look very interested in Coco, how do they react to Hazel? How does Hazel react to them?

It is almost impossible to know how things will go, love, so you just have to try it and see. Degus, being the weird and wonderful things they are, with incredibly strong minds of their own, are well known for NOT having the reaction we may want or expect. Sometimes they have a better reaction, and some times, not so good. Have on hand a water spray bottle, set for stream. A towel. A tube or bowl they like to jump into. And a piece of cardboard. That way if a fight breaks out you have means on hand to separate the combatants, and a thing to transport them with if you are not sure about offering your hands.
Are you thinking of all four meeting, or just Coco meeting Fudge and Snowball?

Well . . . OK . . . how is Hazel doing? Do you think she is interested to meet them? Is she taking her metacam? Of the two, which is stronger/healthier, Coco or Hazel? I'm thinking it is likely Coco? My thoughts are . . . let Coco meet the other two, and see how that goes? Then evaluate, and of course we will want to hear how it went and to offer thoughts, and then go from there. You kind of can only go one meet at a time and only plan for the next once you know how the last meet went.

Hazel She’s taking her painkiller in cc the only way I can get it in her. I’ll have to get help of my dad with them. It’s making me anxious how they will react. In the bath is the best to do an face to face? Do I just put them in or like coco and snowball and then fudge or fudge and snowball then put coco in? |

Well . . . that is a really good question. The bathtub is often a good place because it can be thoroughly washed and therefore be a neutral place. I kind of think that the degu(s) that are first in, could be interpreted by the incoming degu(s) as owning the territory. So, knowing your degus, who is more likely to take a vigorous stand of dominance? I'm inclined to say put Coco in there first. Let her get a little familiar with it, and then put in the calmest of the other two, and then if all stays fairly calm and peaceful, add in the second one. Take note of how they interact. Who is drawn to each other in a happy way, whose tail wags and can you tell if the wag is excited or agitated? Is there grooming? Slow following, or rapid chasing? Things like that. Then tell us what happens.

Definitely get your dad to help. And get some sheets of cardboard and cardboard boxes, colander, towel etc for emergency separating while they are in the bath, just in case.
