I managed to spot Marigold, the little Face Spot Agouti, having breakfast with the other Fancy mice in our biggest tank this morning. But the brown-coated ASF vanished before I could get a pic, she's fast!
But since she is doing so well in there I decided to go for it and add her big Pied friend to the mix this evening when I cleaned the tank...
Tumble definitely needed to get out of her current home and get out and meet some friends, so I carefully added her to the mix in the iso-tank while I was changing their tank, and then when everybody went back in she went with them...
Unlike Marigold though, she seemed to react with fear to the new enviroment and went and hid under the nearest mesh wheel...
The mice in the tank noticed her right away and just like they did with Marigold appeared to have no problem with her, they were only slightly curious...
They sniffed her all over and preened her, then ignored her. But the issue wasn't them, it was Tumble. She seemed downright terrified, rooted to the spot poor thing. I'm going to give it some more time and then decide what to do...
