I've given up for the day... Gabriel now has a pierced ear ..... it was horrible they all started a massive scuffle, Daisy was hanging onto Gabes chest ( I can't find an injury) and Nushka and Speedy were terrified.....
Any advice anyone?????
I have no advice I am affraid. The more I read about bonding the more I realise that I *only* bond Buns who get on reasonably from the outset.
I do hope it works out for the Buns. I would not be brave enough to even try.
Bonding 2 is hard enough!!
Janex
Its just so hard..... I hate seeing them stressed, I'm now covered in fur and scratches and worried sick about all the buns But i want to give Speedy a forever home....
Is bonding *one* of your trio with Speedy an option ?
Is any one of the trio more accepting of Speedy?
Janex
If they have had a bad fight I'd leave it for a couple of days then start again..
if it's really bad then reconsider the bonding altogether:?
Try them in a small space..lots of food and keep a large book or oven gloves handy to split if necessary..but if a bit of chasing starts try a loud noise like clapping your hands..banging a tin..or make a loud shhhhiiiistttt noise! this should make then stop and rethink.......
if you've lost your confidence....have a baby bun to go with Speedy!
Thanks Jill, I'll leave it a day and then give them an hour at a time together, maybe i left it too long today... will try and 'put them away' while all is calm next time so no bad memories....
I was shouting 'NO' and it seemed to help. But the injuries were with my bonded 3, they all got confused and started fighting - Speedy didn't fight back at all.
Another day another date i guess....:?
I'd keep a close eye on your Trio for a while as some refered aggression may kick off if they get a whiff of Speedy again.
Janex
I'm on my last night tonight Julia, so if you'd like some moral support some time over the next few days give me a shout and I'll pop over.x
Glad you're feeling more positive now hun. Let's hope it works Everything crossed!! xx
