Ok, Ok so it’s no real surprise…
…but I’ve decided to keep the little disabled foster boy permanently. Any of you that know me will have seen it coming lol but given his condition there is simply no way I could see him go off to anyone else so he is staying here with me. He is now named Percy. 
With an extra permanent resident I decided to have a cage shuffle hopefully with the outcome of freeing up a larger home for Percy. I decided enough time had past to make it worth trying Digby and James together again (I’ve found it takes considerably longer for their agression to settle post neuter than it does for their fertility) and I’m very pleased to say that the two of them plus Jessica, Poppy, Dot and Maisy are now all together as one group in the freddy cage. 
As they were previously two groups of three occupying a ruffy and a large duna this now gives me an empty savic ruffy which I plan to kit out for Pog leaving me his 2ft tank to adapt for my little Percy. Still with me lol? The hamster duna will now be occupied by one of the unfortunately all single foster boys. At the moment a couple of them are in cages far smaller than I like but since they all gradually decided to take chunks out of one another I wasn’t left with much choice, as it is the cages they are in were mainly loaned to me by a the lovely Sylvia against the worst case scenario of them all falling out. I’ve been rotating who is living where each clean out so that no one mousey is permanently in a teeny cage but now the duna is free the situation will be better.
And finally the three foster boys who have been neutered so far are now clear to go to new homes and will be going up on the rehoming board shortly so cross things for us that they find the lovely forever homes they deserve.
