Hello all,
Just after some opinions and advice really.
I have 2 bonded pairs, Zion & Fia (1) and Winter and Alice (2).
Both pairs are allowed access to the garden when I am around to supervise but only one pair at a time obviously. It's just such a rigmoral when I let one pair out so to 'hide' the other pair to avoid one pair harassing them and the pair in their own territory doing the dominance dancewith eachother, which includes a bit of circling, chasing and fur pulling, and a bit of a to do through the wire.
Ever since each pair have showed signs of doing this whilst the other pair have free range I have had to take action with something like this:
(you can see Fia fishing around on the right!)
Fia does get a bit nosey and her and Alice had a slight to do through the mesh (don't worry its cm wide mesh so little chance of injury) when she sneaks underneath the weed fabric. Winter & Zion (the boys) don't actually seem that bothered but of course its the girls getting all territorial etc.
So my question is do I keep going with the avoiding and 'hiding' tactics? Or do I just them them get on with it and get used to eachother getting used to being around their territories. OR do I then get into the possiblity of Alice and Fia turning on Winter and Zion when in their respective homes?
Just wondering what everyone else do?
