Happy Hopping
Wise Old Thumper
I was doing stress bonding for 3 sessions. i.e., I put both buns (male + female) on my bath tub. It's quite smooth, they both get nervous, but I did put a piece of plastic board between them most of the time
Then just today, I read about Gentle Bonding on both buns. So I put a big towel in the kitchen, as the kitchen is a neutral territory. I then put a big plate w/ carrot + leaves + 4 slice of banana coins.
Take Andi to the area, she starts eating the treats. Take Fudgie to the same area, and he got quite nervous. He takes a few bites on the carrot leaves, but he just want to get out of there. I have to hold him from leaving. The other one is very naturally adopting to the kitchen area. She eats her 2 banana coin, and want to jump over to the other side of the plate to eat the other 2 coins.
In the end, I took Fudgie back upstair. And he's eating the same carrot leaves that was just now in the kitchen area. I don't know what to try next. Any suggestion?
the only good news is, neither one try to jump on the other, Andi eats the treats, and Fudgie eats a bit of the treats if I hold it just in front of him
