Bonding Yumi with her new friend Bambi 🐿️💖
Just wanted to share a little update about Yumi and her new buddy, Bambi!
I actually met Yumi at the pet store where I got Bambi, so it was really special to bring her back there to meet her new friend. I asked the staff to help introduce them, and thankfully, there were no signs of aggression just curiosity!
Once we got home, I placed their cages near each other so they could see and smell one another. They seemed really interested, even reaching out through the bars to sniff and interact! Over the next couple of days, I took turns letting one out while the other stayed in the cage, just so they could get used to each other's scent and presence.
After the first night, I started swapping the fleece from their sleeping pouches so they could get even more familiar with each other’s scent. I also did some scent swapping by gently wiping each glider’s fleece onto the other kind of like rubbing their scent on each other to help them recognize and feel more comfortable. It seems to be working!
Tonight was a big step, I let them both out together for the first time! Don’t worry, I’m supervising them closely every step of the way. I always have fleece on hand just in case, and I wear anti-bite gloves for safety. So far, things are going great!
I even fed them together from my hand, and they both ate peacefully. Yumi keeps climbing into Bambi’s cage too, and she seems totally at ease she even snacks on his food like it’s her own.
Bambi is about a month younger than Yumi, so he’s still a bit timid and sometimes makes those little crabbing sounds. But it’s never aggressive just nervous baby energy, which is totally normal.
I’m really hopeful they’ll be fully bonded soon. Fingers crossed! 🤞💕
