Finally- Hadley And Leela Bonding

[Freela]

After a whole month of waiting (Hadley was on antibiotics for a respiratory infection and had to wait until she was symptom-free without meds), we finally got to introduce Hadley and Leela today. They did really well- Hadley made sure to put Leela in her place early with one of those 'fake bites' to the neck and Leela immediately accepted Hadley as the boss... some mutual ear grooming followed along with some side-by-side cuddling and now they are both in their 'new' cage (actually Hadley's same old cage, but scrubbed down thoroughly and rearranged to make it seem new for Hadley.) So far all has been quiet, they are both looking relaxed and happy in there.
Just wanted to share a couple of pics from the process:

Here is Hadley grooming Leela's ear after they got the dominance issues largely sorted out...

And here are the two of them resting side by side!

Thanks! The first night together was really quiet and peaceful, they seem to have worked out their differences with a minimum of fuss. Both are happy puttering around together this morning, so hopefully we have a successful new pair! It's nice to have the two of them together, I feel like I've been waiting for so long due to Hadley's antibiotics!
