Hmmm when these two first arrived, Soots was a little nervous of me and was only lunging a bit and then running off cause i wouldn't move my hands. Tara is lovely and loves a good tickle but Soots wont let her most of the time. I put them down into the run last week and they figured how to get back up but havn't figured out how to get down themselves yet. Because of this they are both spending 90% of there time upstiars in the hutch unless i go out and put them in the run. Sootys lunging and growling and nipping seems to be getting worse!! Alot worse (sorry angie) He isn't picking on Tara so much but he is getting worse with me, like he's incredibly annoyed! i put my hand in the hutch thismorning to move the food bowl and he really went for me, teeth barred boxing and a huge growl, Im actually quite worried about him, he has started to moult and i don't think not getting out into the run is doing him any good! Now When i go out Tara comes to thr front of the hutch and has a tickle and is extremly sweet, so her nervousness ahs definatly improved and she isn't tolertaing Sootys bullying as much either, she will actually chase him back when he starts, could Sootys annoyance and obvious fear of me come down to a) me not being frightened of him and not moveing out of his way and b) Tara becomming more independant of him??? Im very confused about him just now. Michelle who had fostered Sooty and Tara for angie had done such a good job with him and now i feel he is loosing everything that he had gained after arriving here??? :?
