Playdate
Today was the first meeting of Rufus, Kado, and Artax. We were ready to break up any fights with leather gloves, a dustpan, and a spray bottle of water. We needed...absolutely nothing.
The boys did groom each other, but mostly they walked around the tub looking confused (maybe they were wondering where the soap and water was?)
Kado and Rufus really hit it off well, grooming each other and bruxing and boggling.
Artax got so bored that he resorted to playing with the drain plug.
We'll keep letting them out together for a couple of weeks (probably again in the tub but without vanilla, then on the bed with toys), then we'll see how they do in a cage. Today was an amazingly peaceful meeting of boys, but eventually there will be a power struggle to establish the alpha.

Posted by: Eanna at May 22, 2006 12:05 AMThat's Kado. He was closing his eyes, so he looks a little distressed, but he wasn't acting upset.
