Sounds like your basic, "Godzilla" to me... or maybe Superman with the Kryptonite... is that how it goes? 

[dianah]

pretty much like godzilla but it would be 'vanilla chindzilla' 

[animalluver]

Sounds good... except I'd be rooting for the chin, not the people 

[dianah]

haha oh yea, it would be a blockbuster in chinchilla cinemas!

Sorry it's been a while I've been really busy but I thought I'd update y'all.
First I renamed Theo Tuvok because everytime I saw him I thought "Vulcan" (big trekkie here...) and Spock didn't fit so he got Voyager's chief of security.
Any way I've been letting Herby and Tuvok hang out in the morning while I clean their cages for 10-15minutes and they've been fine. Then last night they were able to be out together for a full hour with just a few very small tuffs.  Nothing major and they had a grand time, so did Mom; they're sooo cute!  So things are definitely going up and I hope to be able to extend their time even more though I'm still really wary of putting them together with anything they associate as "personal." One thing I have been doing is having a Mom's Night where I let them out individually and spend all my time focused with just one, each taking a turn, and no together time. Takes longer but I really like it and they do too.

I HAVE A SPOCK!!!! (sorry, had to shout that!)

Update:
Tuvok broke my $100, enclosed playpen before I could finish his new cage and since I literally had nowhere else to put him I had to put him in with Herby. They barely cared. The first few hours they had a few tuffs but nothing hard-core then they were fine and have been since. I do feel kind of bad for Herby though because he's more of a naper and Tuvok is a sleep for a few hours and then be active they whole rest of the time kind guy. So during play time Herby goes back up to the cage and catches a nap  but all in all I think they do like them being in the same cage better. I regularly catch them sleeping together; it's soo cute! I love it.

how fantastic!!!! so pleased for you! i wouldn't worry too much about them having different activity levels. i think it's pretty normal - my boys are asleep most of the day and the girls are a lot more active. but given that they're in the same room anyway, i think if the boys were being disturbed, they'd complain by now. they seem to be quite good at ignoring the girls highly noisy activity (wheel!) and sleep through.

see, got there in the end

The only thing about the activity level is my cage is actually a redone bird cage and so the whole thing shakes when they jump from ledge to ledge and really goes when someone is running on the flying saucer  but they've gotten it worked out. Mhm and it was completely worth all the trouble they caused 

[dianah]

mine shake a little too! i have three cages with a flying saucer in each one (this will be reducing to two once ffynn moves in with the girls) - sometimes they all run on their wheels at the same time, it sounds as though the house is about to take off! good job our walls are two feet thick manx stone walls or we'd be really unpopular with the neighbours!
