Advice on rehoming and introduction

[Mrs Mc]

Hi, sadly I've just found one of my unuetered boys has died in his bed leaving me with one unuetered boy. What's the best option for rehoming with him please?
Also I have a large cage with two levels. Is it ok to separate the two floors with wire mesh so they can see each other but can't fight
And finally how long should I keep them apart?
Thank you for your advice.

Sorry to your loss.
The most important thing at this stage is to give your boy and yourself time to grieve. Don’t rush into finding him a new friend too soon.
The best way, when the time comes, is to take him boar dating at a rescue centre to be able to find him a suitable character compatible friend to ensure that any bonding is successful. However given the state of things with the Lockdowns, centres are not rehoming at present.
