I had once had 4 girls in two separate cages and when one of the girls
died
the other stopped eating and wouldn't come out of her hidey house. I had
to
put her in with the other two girls until I could build a pen big enough
for
them all to go in together.
My poor Minky had seen 3 of her cagemates die but she came through it well
everytime.
