Hamster psychology!

After Eddie coming home from being sterilized i tried to put him and Marsha together but, they just attacked each other immediately so i have had them in separate cages ever since and I'm not liking the whole idea. So i have devised a plan that might actually work, i hope!!

THE PLAN:
I have taken one of the balls that i bought for the hamsters and put it in Marsha's cage then attached it to the pipes leading from Eddie's cage. Eddie can now go into the ball and be "IN" Marsha's cage, without being attacked.
Marsha can once again get used to Eddie's scent in her cage and hopefully when i put then together again they wont fight.

I think i have kept them apart for too long and just need to reintroduce them, which i HOPE i can do because hamsters don't like hamsters they are not familiar with.


What happened when the plan was all ready to go:

As soon as Eddie made his way into the ball Marsha came to look at what this new object was. As soon they picked up each others scent they attacked each other though the ball and to their surprise they couldn't do much attacking.

Eddie has now made a home in the ball but it still looks like they want to fight so i will just leave Eddie in the ball for another little while and then i will attempt to put them together again.

Heres some more pics of my ingenious plan:
