Success first time?

This seems too good to be true and I wont risk it too much. As Spice's aunts and grandmother wont leave her tail alone i decided to try one other thing. Introducing her to the evil goo's! Saphira and Houdini dont like people very much they are ok with me sitting there as long as i dont move and they will take food from my hand but in general they aren't all that nice. I am pretty sure it's because they were 5/6 weeks old when I got them from a shop so I dont know how old they were when they were taken from their mother.

However with Spice being how she is I need her to take to someone so I set up a space around the cage it was big enough that they didn't even need to touch and just let them wander. Saphira didn't come out the cage but Houdini did and I have Spice just running around the area. While Houdini was out Spice jumped into the cage and Saphira didn't seem to care much (Saphira is the evilest of evil goo's!) and then Houdini jumped in and they just ignored her. So i started giving them all treats, monkey nuts for them to chew on which they seemed happy enough with.

Saphira and Houdini then sniffed at spice a little, groomed her a little and then went back to their business, now this is all happening in their cage and they don't like anyone in their cage, if you try and enter their cage they will bite you but yet they just let her in.

Saphira and Houdini at the moment are rearranging the cage while Spice is investigating their cage still. I am shocked at how they don't seem to care. After all the fuss Spice's own family made and chewing the tip of her tail of she seems to have automatically settled in with the evil goos. How random.

They haven't been at all agressive to her and even when i shut the cage leaving all of them in there they still don't mind. I'm not planning on leaving Spice in there all night but if it keeps going this well I might. I need her to settle somewhere rather quickly so if she has straight away, awesome!

WOW! That is quite unexpected, but a brilliant stroke of genius! I truly hope it will all work out very well. Who knows, maybe Spice can even inject a little bit of civility into Saphira and Houdini!

She might just do that. It's so weird, Saphira and Houdini are showing her who is boss but they are being rather gentle with her and are actually looked after her. It's so weird. I might just leave her tonight in with the girls rather then move her out and then back in. She is eating a hay cookie with one of them easily enogh and they are sharing food with her so i might just risk it.

I am so shocked but at least for now it means I can keep all my degus.

The only problem is I think Saphira and Houdini are going to have more of an affect on Spice then she will on them. She is a little nervous after her ordeal anyway and those two sit there squeaking about every movement or sound so it might make her worse. I can only hope for the best though.

She has even cuddled up to them already! This is just amazing.
