Gracie has been with us for almost six years and we’ve finally decided it’s time for her to get a friend. We toyed with the idea before, but held off.
She’s still what I call cage bound, which basically means that even though the door is perpetually open she rarely leaves the cage. She is more curious than when first adopted, but even then, she is very shy. She was mistreated in her previous home, after all, so she’s nervous. I think having a confident and social friend might help her be more outgoing. She’ll get to see that the world is safe.
I am worried that because she’s been alone so long, she’ll be difficult to bond. I appreciate any and all advice! I am okay if they don’t get along but since tiels tend to be pretty social I think it’ll work out.
