For some strange reason, Alfred turned on Matilda on Thursdy last week, it was unfortunately a fur flying everywhere rolling over sort of fight, so I seperated them.
I rang KayJ for advice, and she suggested trying them again (this was a few hours later), and I put them in the grass run, which would be a bit more neutral than the hutch, and initially they seemed ok, but had an other fight, I tried them again in the hutch a bit later, and another fight...
So took the decision to seperate them, which was a real shame as Matilda was absolutley besotted with him. Although the poor lassie has several bite marks on her.
I asked my friend Holly who is a animal communicator to talk to Alfred, and his response was, "I'm feeling better now" (which I was v glad to hear), "but it is my hutch, and I don't want her in it"...
I've built a pen for him in the kitchen, which he seems very happy in, doing lots of happy flops, poor Matilda seemed quite upset, but is much happier now, I did put some rescue remedy in her water for a few days, and is much more content.
I did try them again in the grass run yesterday, and Alfred was awful with her, so I seperated them again.
I do wonder, as he was the dominant one initially, while he has been v ill, she sort of took over, and he has decided he wants to keep reasserting himself, to make sure he is in charge.
Anyway, they both seem happy by themselves now..
