With Alex just having passed, I'm leery a bit on starting intros between Flux and Goliath (I really tried to keep Oscar as his name, but Goliath won out) without both of them getting checked by the vet first.
Both have very occasional sneezies. Flux gets them when he's out of the cage on the couch and they will both be getting their cages cleaned today.
Someone on another forum asked me why I was waiting to go to the vet since they are both in the same air space so if they had anything they could pass to the other boy, it already would have been passed.
My response was that I wanted to make sure there was a clean bill of health for both the boys before starting intros because Alex just passed with URI issues at first that may or may not have been something congenital.
So I'd like advice. Goliath was all over the side of the cage near the bed when I had Flux on the bed for some out time.
Neither seem to be actually sick besides a few sneezies here and there, (Cage is a lil stinky because it's getting cleaned today. I couldn't bear to do it a few days ago with Alex's passing) but otherwise both seem healthy and happy.
Flux is growing increasingly more active since Alex passing, Goliath well.. he doesn't have a lot to his cage because it's smaller than the main cage that Flux is in, but he wanders around and snuggles into his basket up top and whatnot.
Again, neither seems sick, do you think it would be fine to start intros?
Ideally they will be going to the vet soon regardless, as soon as my credit card comes in. Thankfully the vet I will be changing too can and will do payment plans for everything besides the initial visit fee.

) down their butts, plopped them on a clean towel with a shallow bowl with peas and water in it.
