Hi,

Given that she is already not eating then I would say no. Now is not the time to add any extra stress into her environment.

There are lots of threads on here asking that same question. It is not recommend because of stress, health etc. You say the one you have doesn't eat on a weekly bases. Housing two together may not help with that at all. I'm just curious as to why you want to keep two in the same cage.

Hi,

Your vet might still be able to get a sample to test - I think the procedure is called a cloacal wash or something?
