Any ideas about what I can try with Bubbles and Whisper?
Wisp has been very humpy for about 6 months now which sometimes seems to get Bubs down. They're not as devoted to each other as Pippin and Merry but do spend some time snuggling together. Most of the affection tends to come from Bubbles.
Bubs developed an obstruction and had surgery on Friday. Its been hard to get him eating but he has gradually built up and yesterday was eating normally. I was woken up this morning to lots of banging and Dave found them 'face to face fighting' I watched for a while and basically she is nipping him under the chin and provoking him to box, and then chasing him. This is what she used to do to her sister when they all lived together.
How much should I worry generally? At present the effect is that Bubbles is terrified and won't eat again. I've just heard another bout and put Wisp temporarily in the bathroom. For today I'll divide the pen so they can still see each other but so Bubs can hopefully chill out a bit.
Any ideas? I'm really feeling for Bubbles but I don't know what I'll do if this goes on long term.
