Hi guys.....I know me again hehe!!
So as many of you know I decided to try one more time to bond my boys after their unfortunate fallout etc etc.
They went to the bonder Wednesday morning and I heard nothing (which I was hoping was a good thing) until yesterday evening. They said it’s going fairly good, still a bit of chasing and fur pulling but also there has been sitting together and ignoring each other too....I’m just glad no blood this time!!
Anyway so my question;
I have taken a lot of what awesome advice I’ve had on how to house them at night and we have been doing diy for days to set up a pen in the kitchen. The plan was originally to continue the bond as last time at home using their hutch, starting the first week in just the top part, then top and bottom, then adding space with our puppy pen until free roaming.
BUT if we are planning on ditching the hutch after continued bonding at home, is it better to start the continued bonding in the pen not the hutch as that will be their new night area? Would starting in the hutch then not going in there anymore be to confusing and disruptive to a new bond?
I might be collecting them tomorrow at the earliest and this issue just popped into my head! Pic of hutch and a rough idea of the pen idea for reference, obviously if we have to continue the bond in the pen not the hutch I’m guessing we’d have to section off a small bit to start off with etc. Pen will also have toys and mats in areas when set up properly, a tipi and it has a lid.
Thank you for any advice x
