Thanks for your advice. The thing is the Pink White has been showing me mixed behaviour. Sometimes she would be very nice to the Het. Ebony male and they will groom each other. Most times I see both of them sleeping side by side when I come home from work. Then suddenly I'll hear lots of commotion for bout 5sec and I'll find that the pink white has got a few strands of fur in her mouth. This happens only once a day at most.

heh.. he was actually quite a ball-less chin to begin with. The thing is that they dont fight at all when I'm around. Some one suggested that my Het. ebony male is trying to mate with the pink white. I've noticed mounting by the het. ebony but i thought it was only a dominance mount and the pink white did not retaliate. Could it be possible considering the scenario. The webmaster from chincare.com has suggested , after some scolding but i expected it cause i was at fault, that the pink white has "attitude problem" and needs to be rehabilitated but she seems to be quite tame and will groom the het. ebony when the het. ebony initiates contact and grooming. Like i said, i'm getting confusing signs from the pink white. Thats why I wanna consult you guys. Anyway the breeder who gave me the advice is someone from pets.com forum. not Petdepot. heh.. didnt want anyone to mistaken.

Btw. Mounting observed and proof that they do get along most of the time. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g...tevieCheryl.jpg

Its just once a day I sometime observed the PW chasing the Het. Ebony. Just now when the Het. Ebony approached the Pink White, she looks like she was gonna "attack" and was standing on her hind feet. I gave her a stern "No" and she went back on all fours. then the Het. Ebony started grooming her.

yup, mounting observed again. I think its a dominance mount though. Het. Ebony male was chased for 5cm. once today but not due to the mounting. Gave them powder bath together. No fighting after and male mounted pink white again. To be safe I'm gonna start the introduction process again. Gonna put them in seperate cages side by side with wiremesh in between. Then let them run in neutral zone together every night. Will put them in same cage on sat again after weekly full cage cleaning. Instructed by webmasters from chincare.com

Well, just remember that safety first! No rush to get them together, right?

Something to bear in mind is to watch for missing toes. Sometimes they can bite each other through the wire so a common injury would be missing toes
