I TOTALLY agree ! You providing a "Pack" environment is key to setting up these guys to get along.

But, remember that you have a "resident" animal. Already stabilized and used to the way things were done. You MUST put out special effort to pay attention pet/feed/cuddle with the original animal. Otherwise it's going to feel like it's being replaced in your heart. Sometimes it takes quite a while for the resident to get over that feeling.

Also, don't be surprised if your resident gets a little pushy with the new guy at some point. That's ok, that's the way Pack's work.
