Well. I tried Flint with Treacle (now with Calel) & they fought (quite badly). So I tried him with Dusk, then Dawn. It wasn't happening. (TBH Dusk & Dawn both need spaying, but my bank account is having a rest after Turkey, & cos I got 10ish VHD/myxis due in the next fortnight - so they can get spayed after payday!!).
(For those of you that don't know Flint was with Rosie, then I bonded the pair to another pair & Flint fell out with everyone )
Anyway Flint has put on a bit of weight (being single he spends more time sleeping & doesn't have to share his tea :roll: ), so cos I was having a jiggle about with the buns the other day, (Have got it so all buns are loose now, except Calel & Treacle, who are caged until I get in on an evening ), i got myself a new neutral territory, chucked in the 7, & added Flint. Think he was lonely before, cos it was like he'd always been part of them!! Within minutes he was being groomed by Chocolate & Cracker. There was no humping/chasing or anything.So I chucked in Kendra (orange baby girl). Anyway, that was several days ago & no problems so far. So I have a bonded 9, & there's none of the nipping or thumping that went on before, so I'm hoping this time it'll stay a bonded group. Maybe 9 is that big a number, they don't notice new ones!! All are neutered/spayed except Kendra (too young). & it's really sweet, cos she's still tiny & follows Chocolate (big rex) everywhere!!
It's good, cos they now got extra space - & when i open the door on a night, they all come binkying into the living room Did lose my settee last night to 5 buns though :evil:
