Charlie is about 6 weeks now.Charlie looks like he's growing well. Shouldn't be too long before he can have some face time with Jasper. How old are they?
If you can supervise their meeting in its entirety, you might try a short visit (a couple minutes). Be prepared for a hiss or growl. It sounds bad, but it's normal for a first meeting. Play it by ear, but don't let it go on long and without constant supervision at this early a stage.
You also could try a first meeting through a baby grate or a small opening through a door opened only a couple inches--enough for them to see each other, but not have any physical contact.
Jasper and Mia are a year and a half.
Milo is maybe 10 months?
Sammy is 7, going on 8.
They've already met face to face, but always when I've been holding Charlie. There were hisses the first few days through the pen mesh, but the hisses have mostly stopped. Now when I hold them to each other, they just sniff. Jasper and Sammy seem the most patient with him while Mia and Milo tend to back off a bit, though they still show interest.
