Well it's day 3 and we're stuck between and hard place and a rock. Both are still trying to be the dominant one (she refuses point blank to groom him and will shove her head as far down as possible) and he refuses to accept this so stomps and humps (and she is actually submissive to a point...when he starts nipping and fur pulling then she's off).
I may have made a mistake in giving them both nose rubs over the weekend which may have upset the balance somewhat so I haven't done that since 7pm last night.
There have been no fights, no aggression, mutual flops (and I mean the biggest flops I have ever seen in my life), both running up to the cage when I walk past, both fighting for food (amusing).....just noooo grooming whatsoever. I realise I do not have the patience of a saint however I guess no fighting is better than fighting.
I need to go get them some more food etc so I am planning on shoving them in the carrier and bringing them with me...good idea or not?
When do people suggest putting them in a hutch and seeing what happens?? I need to clean it first and neutralise it as it's his hutch, I do have, what my OH calls, "monica geller" syndrome and the mess they are making in my lounge is really starting to bug me... :lol:
I do realise this may take time...honest...!
