for the past 3-4 days nothing has changed in my group, they are fine, until they r outside or food comes out.

food is the worst, when i put a file of hay in...nothing.

when i scatter pellets, peanut hoovers them all up nipping each nose he finds in his way.

when i put a few pellets in four bowls, peanut finishes his first and then stick his head in everyones elses and then nips them if they DARE take a pellet.

so i do the same the next day but give peanut more, so he wont finish too early, they all finish at the same time and i think ive got it sussed when he flips out BECAUSE theres none left and starts chasing domino.

if i give them veggies its the same

:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
what a little monster he is turning out to be!!!

i guess its still too early to think this will be how it is forever, hes probably just showing hes boss

the only time pearl shows a hint of a nasty side is when food is involved but its all forgotten very quickly.. must just be a buns way
 
he just wont let anyone else eat anything, hes a nightmare, but the thing is, he does it with jelly when they were pairs, but with 4 its just even worse.

:( i really dont wana seperate them bcus they get on fine, they just need to get over this 'bump'.

cant you feed him seperate for a while.. if he really wont share it might be for the best itll save the foursome bond too :)
 
perservere! scatter the food far and wide so they go in different directions, he can't be everywhere at once! :lol: i have had 7 living together happily, it can be done. x jess

i dont really wana do that because i want them to work through it, i do nudge him back sometimes etc but really they need 2work this out on their own :(

buttonsandthumper: its a good idea but im usuing a canvas puppy pen and its not big enough to do that lol
 
maybe jelly will have a quiet word with him hun.... i guess its just time that will settle him down :(
