It's been a fun couple of weeks trying to introduce the two Bongo Fury boys to the oldies. At first I didn't think we'd ever manage it. But slowly, in stages, it seems to be working.
First I got Gambit in with the boys. No More Mr Nice Guy squealed and squealed and squealed. But eventually he settled down. Then we were able to introduce Cyclops, and the four were quite happy together.
Introductions with the rest didn't go so well at first. There were squeals and scuffles and a few cut tales. Then we swapped Gambit and Cyclops for Robb and Rickon, who are both pretty calm boys. These four were soon happy together.
We tried a few more goes at having the full group together at times, but No More Mr Nice Guy was constantly squealing and starting fights. I was seriously starting to work out rat maths and who best to put where.
Today I let them all in together and why the little boy still squealed, the others showed no interest in fighting, and Nightcrawler managed to ignore the squeaks long enough to temporary join Cyclops and the little ones in a hammock.
It was daytime though, so everyone was kinda calm. Things got a little more active this evening, although it still seemed to be mostly No More Mr Nice Guy making lots of noise for no reason. So we decided confined quarters might be a good idea. Bran and Jon, the two who NMMNG doesn't like, with Cyclops (for company) and the two little ones are all in a carrier beside me. They're chewing away on food, sniffing about, but otherwise seem to be pretty calm. We'll see what happens when they all go back in the cage together.
