Andy went to the pet shop yesterday (ka-ching, ka-ching $$$$$$) and got Boo and Pesto a new cage. This is the first time they'll be living in the same cage. They seem to be getting along well except for an occasional squabble.
This cage is really cool. It's very sturdy, the top opens up and there's a piece in front that opens down like a drawbridge. One feature I like is that the food cups swivel out so Boo can't bite me!! :D So far they love it and actually were playing all over the cage not just at the top.
It measures 25-1/2" wide by 16" deep and 64" tall.

When we covered them up last night Pesto was in Boo's sleeping tent and we don't know what happened during the night eek. I don't know what they're going to do now. Maybe we need a wider 'love shack' for the two of them :D Do Bubble and Squeak sleep in a tent together?

Andy got this cage at Petco and it was on sale for $259.00, plus he got a little bit more off because there's a little dent in it :lol:

they haven't got a tent as they ate the last one eek. :nuts: but they do sleep cuddled up on top of their swing :wub: , she scoots him over to one side and pushes up real close to him and protects him for the night :lol:

sugar and spice also sleep cuddled up very close but they face different directions and hold their heads together, hopefully i will get a pic one day as its very cute when they sleep like this, they look like one big ball of yellow feathers :wub:

Well, the honeymoon is over :blink:

In the words of The Offspring "We Gotta Keep 'Em Separated" :huh:

Boo must be schizo, a lot of the time they would get on fine, then sometimes she would just attack poor Pesty for no reason & chase him all around the cage :angry: :angry:

It got to the point where he would run away whenever she came near him :o

He would sit at the top of the cage a lot of the time & we were afraid that he wasn't eating much or was stressed out, so we put them back in separate cages & we'll just put them together on their play gym or when we have them with us. :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

I took them both out of their cages today and put them on a play gym. Well, they had an hour long preen session with Pesto preening Boo which I hadn't seen before. The only time a fight would start was if Pesto stopped preening her. :D

In the cage together it was a different story. I can understand one biting the other and a quick squabble breaking out, but Boo would hunt Pesto down and keep it up, keep chasing him around the cage until she got a good bite!!! He would squeal! She's a bully :o Like Andy said, Pesto was afraid to go to the food bowl, that's when we thought we should separate them.

So maybe their relationship will just be on the play gym where they get along!!
