Personally I use the pudding technique to introduce new rats. You put pudding on all the rats and by the time they are done licking it off themselves and the other rats, everybody smells the same, everybody is too stuffed to fight so fight and they end up in a giant snooze pile.
Reminds me of how we used to deal with one cat coming back from the vet and the other not liking how she smelled. We just rubbed the one that came back from the vet with a piece of turkey lunchmeat.
No maybe about it. CBC called the park tonight and spoke to the gamekeeper, and it's worked stunningly. They rubbed it on the meerkats noses and on their bums, once when they introduced the new animals and once when they put them all out into the outside enclosure. And voilla. No arguments.
