We had a bonded group of 6 that used to be housebuns but were moved out to a summer house with large run attached during earlier on in the year as they were on a mission to destroy my house :lol:
Anyway, we lost Millie late summer which upset the balance of the group a touch as she was a big character, not dominant but she seemed to keep everyone in line. Since Millie has gone, Mylo has been chasing Mouse quite a bit, Mouse was probably closest to Millie as although they weren't related, she acted a bit like a mum to him as he's the littlest.
Now Bella hasn't been great over the last few weeks and has been moved indoors to monitor her as she's a bit underweight, it's left 3 boys and 1 girl in the summer house and the boys are chasing and fur pulling more than before.
I want to keep Bella inside so I can keep a proper eye on her until her weight is better, but am I just being silly doing this? She's been inside now for over a week and I'd be concerned about putting her outside due to the change in temperature.
The other option is to bond another female into the group in the summerhouse to bring us back to 3 boys and 2 girls. Opinions please, I don't know what's the best thing to do!
