I had the problem introducing Snickers to Ossi and Isis.  They wanted to
chew her up.  I finally had to put applebitter on her so they would stop
chewing on her.  I let them on the floor together for days with Snickers
having the applebitter on her and they finaly stoped biting her.  After
each play time I wiped the applebitter off Snickers.  That was the only way
I could safely let them play together.  After about two weeks they could go
in the same cage together.  Without the applebitter I dont think Snickers
would have survived.  Ossi wanted to just eat her, and she was so tiny.
Now she attackes Ossi and gives him a run for his money!!!  They play great
together and when I introduced Casper to the group she had no problem
fitting in.  Good luck Margarete.
