To Cuddle Or Not?

[Flamestriker]

hello all

My girls are in their cage now, and slowly the dominance displays are still on going. This will be their second night in the cage.

Can I start taking them out for cuddles? Should I put them in their pen/run or should I let them settle in the cage for a whilst longer?

Sorry all, but I am new to this. I have read the other topics and threads and I cannot find the answers

I would recommend to wait until the girls have sorted themselves out and are eating from your hand. it is still very, very early days and your girls are still trying to get their bearings.

Ok, thank you Wiebke.

What about removing them to clean the cage next week? Won't that disturb the dominance dynamics?
