Sorry about this long message - feel a bit emotional...
I know that it is probably better for Fluffy and Miffy to be separate tonight - she had her spay today - they can see each other through the bars but they are both just sitting looking at each other forlornly - not in their beds - usually this time of night they are cuddled up together.
I think that they are better off separate (she is in the run with shelter and he is in the hutch - both in enclosure but penned in for night ) so that he doesn't bother her in the night when I can't keep an eye on them.
They were okay this evening together - he is curious about her new smell and stitches and kept trying to nuzzle/nudge her tummy which we were able to stop - no aggression at all just curiosity.
Also she is on soft kitchen roll torn up and he has the usual hay-filled bed area so she can't' just join him without me taking the hutch apart!
I feel terrible that they are just looking at each other and not snuggled up but is this my heart ruling my head here???
Will they be okay for one night?
Should I keep them separate for a few more nights - they will be supervised in the day?
