well i have decided hat i have been so bloomin ill that i wouldnt even try rebonding bif n bandit anymore but i did let them out to exercise together asneither one likes coming out for more than a few seconds....
the space isnt big but its enough for poor bandit right now with his nervous weeing problem..hes sprinkled and puddled his way around as well as usuing the tray tonite bless him.
Bif pulled out a bit of his fur tonite and he pulled out a chunk of hers..but that was twice compared to last night with 2 sessions of fur pulling and three spats.
both times they came out..last night at 7.30pm tonite at 9pm and they both nights were put to bed at 12.45am!!
bandits so nervous but is always so friendly bouncy and loving bless him. he anticipates a nose rub or being stroked and as you near him he starts purring and goes mad puring when you touch him and turns bunny puddle..hes adorable. Bif has seen us making such a fuss with him and has even asked nay begged for a nose rub! and shes let us make a fuss of her even more tonight..bless her.
they have a litter tray from their respective homes and their food n water bowls and they share it all and swap around....they have even been sleeping alongside the other one whose kipping in the litter tray almost nose to nose or cheek to cheek really sweet. i hope it continuse as i might be very tempted to rebond them indeed.
howcome when you want to bond them they fight tooth and nail and when youre just letting them out together and not expecting anything it works better!!?
trouble is i now have the problem with willow..shes turned real nasty with the buns with us with bertie even..she bullies him and wont let him have any affection from us if he does she comes and pushes him back her way and then humps him several times..shes so possessive and jealous.
bertie everyday when the pen is open and were in and out our end of the lounge where the tv is he comes and "visits" the little buns..well bif was his missus. bandit bites him thru the cage and then after a while rubs noses with him same with bif..but willow comes into smell..bandit goes for her like crazy thru the bars and bif does too but bandit is worse!!
i have three pen panels around the crate..bifs cage is behind the crate as willow really hates bif now..... i worry for them both but esp bif being bullied..but she used to make willows life hell when she had her time in a rottweiler crate...what comes around i gues.....
we need to clear boxes etc in the spare room into plastic boxes as the mould is getting even worse and we need the council to get access to the ceiling where the damp patch is...oh yes its condensation i forgot
then we can get the pc and the trolley its on up there.....move the tv against the party wall but we will get two speakers and put them halfway donw the lounge and turn the sound off at the tv so not to annoy the neighbours.
it will mean the lounge will in effect be split in half..i want to either get pen panels or maybe an aviary panel on its side to act as a buffer to prevent willow from getting down than end of the lounge...im going to allow the littlies access to the hallyway and stairs..bif can climb a few but bandit cant at all...its a nice binkying hallway....the kitchen door leads to the halway but im going to put a baby gate across it..the other kitchen dooorway leads to the lounge and is open plan doorway so the frenchies can half the lounge and the kitchen which is a decent size i guess.
am i being cruel...can you suggest what i do? in the early evening when berties awake id like to let him come up to us as hes a cuddly old lump and i miss being with him..that willow is too much
i want to give my buns whats best for them..definately no rebonding the 4some EVER.
i worry tho that we cant spend as much time in berties company and hell die and we will be so gulity and mad that we will never be ok for it.
i hateto say it but right now i am beginning to wish willow wasnt here..its awful as she was so cuddly and i loved her and she loved me and all visitors...now shes absolutely horrid and i feel repulsed i could even think so badly
i think its the whole health thing im battling right now thats making me feel like it..least i hope so
i realsie i could easily bond bertie and the other two in no time but willow would kill them shes turned so aggressive..even the cats are giving her a wide berth andthey love her....
is divindg the lounge making her worse?
when she got past the pen but couldnt get to bif as i put panels aorund her cage..willow retalieted by peeing on the sofa and chairs ever day thats why now its penned off and bertie cant nap ont he settee anymore
help...advice...please!!
