I have had a male for 5 years. He's got some neurological problems from his egg being turned and he's improved greatly over the last four years (once he was out of the inclosure with his dominant brother - I adopted him for that reason.) But he still gets a little unsteady and confused from time to time.
I have a friend with an adult female who wants to give her to someone who can take more time with her, who has room for her and who can love her. She's in an office right now which doesn't get much traffic. I imagine she is bored and doesn't get much attention.
I want to take her. I want to put her enclosure in my apartment and put it close to my male's so that they can see each other. I'm hesitant to put them together, for obvious reasons.
My question is this - is it going to stress him out having a new female moving in next door? I figure when they're young it might not be as bad, but he's pretty settled in his domain and they're both several years old. Also, she'll get loads more attention and love from me, and I want to keep her in her current enclosure to reduce her stress. But I don't want to adopt her if it's going to make it worse for either of them.
Any thoughts, suggestions, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
