Hiya guys....I've been having a huge problem trying to bond Coco and Zeubin.
I've been trying to bond them for the last few months...but without success ........ these two just aren't getting it on!
Zeubin gets very randy (which I understand is a dominance thing)...and Coco just freezes... which results in a grumpy...boardering on aggressive :shock: Zeubin..who boxes at Coco when she doesn't react to him.
I've tried both seperating them straight away when he starts..then reintroducing...but he does the same.
I've also tried leaving them for a little longer....but he just carries on...and I'm so sad for Coco, as she's terrified (which I don't want her to be, as I feel we're taking a backwards step from her confidence building)
Zeubin just seems alittle too over confident with her...and she's so placid (bless her), she just freezes up
Ideally she needs to box him back..then that would show him!
When she's back on her own, she's forever restless...moving her bedding, digging, throwing her toys about etc....but just seems bored on her own. I get the impression she does want a bf as company...but Zeubin is just too overpowering for her!
Techniques I've tried are:
*car journey with the both of them in the same carrier
*Coco living in a cage in my room, so they can interact through the mesh..then letting them out together.
* Zeubin living in Coco's cage, and Coco in Zeubins to try and get them used to each others smell.
* Alternating the amount of time they are together...ie splitting them up straight away when Zeubin starts to fight....and leaving them together for longer.
Zeubin still seems to have a problem with Coco...and she's absolutely terrified of him :?
I've tried every technique going...and for many months...but they just aren't getting on
I don't know what to do!
