Re: mandy and pals... Why do they have to live together? I'm always in favor of letting time take it's course. It doesn't seem fair to *any* of them to force the issue. If you can give them space from each other (ie, separate cages, maybe come out together for playtime, let them keep their distance if that's what they want) and they co-exist, fine (sounds somewhat similar to my situation, only with separate rooms instead of cages.) But I don't think it's fair to any of them to force them to live together if one is terrified and the others are always being attacked. Sounds pretty stressful. If you can enjoy them separately from each other, why not? [Posted in FML issue 1293]
