Got one of those here too, LOL! Her brother however just "tolerates" it. He's only 5, so he doesn't get to forcefully object as much as he would like to. Although, I think he kind of likes it so long as he doesn't have to admit to it.

hehe both my kids are boys and they love ICarly lol ;D Got up this morning and the less dominant one of the two babies (socko i think ) had got thro the dividing mesh during the night and was cuddled up with Spencer! I take it it is still too early to take the divide out. i was going to keep it in till sunday swopping them round and taking them out to the bath to get to know each other better is this right?

How old are the babies? If they're under 8 weeks they should get along with Spencer straight away really and they won't try and be the dominant male. However you also have the dad and that will take more time as he is an adult. Degutopia has a guide for introducing adults to adults though and it says to switch them after a week to each others living area for another following week then to begin the introductions when you think they are ready. If you think they're ready earlier than that try the introductions a bit earlier perhaps?

not sure how old the babies are. They have been in P@H for about a month. I havent got dad he stayed with the other baby. Have had them in the bath (empty of course lol) twice now and so far so good, lots of mutual grooming and lots of anything spencer can do we babies can too!! including jumping out of the bath, running round the edge and diving back in lol

As i was watching tv last night there was an awful squeel going on One baby goo had got stuck whilst trying to change sides!! So they are now all together in a huddle. I didnt want anybody to get stuck in the middle of the night. Hopefully all will be well
