If the gerbils are grooming, was the split sucsessful?

Question

I put together my gerbils yesterday after less than a week split and they quickly took on their roles as expected (one dom, one sub) and they instantly started grooming.

Good sign?

Answer 1

Yes, grooming is a very good sign. Just make sure they don't fight severely. Congrats!

Answer 2

Seems a good sign. As long as there isn't any fighting i wouldn't be worried. Rodents in general adapt well to a new companion, espiecally if they already know them. I wouldn't be worried, all seems good! =]
