hi all.:wave:
I really need some advice on weather this is the right decision to make. My bonded pair (neutered buck and doe) have always tolerated each other rather than been loved up but they both seemed fine with this arrangement and happy in themselves. however recently the buck(bo) who has always been the more placid seems to be getting terribly bullied by his wifey bun. Every day she chases him and pulls fur although they have been bonded for over 3 years now. More worrying is that bo has now pulled most of his own fur out around his belly and legs and im thinking it could be stress related. I really dont want to have to separate them as both their quality of life will suffer i feel(as in space and free range time) but i dont want poor bo to be unhappy. Do you think it would be the best thing to separate them for his sake, or is there anything i can try to ease his stress and stop him self mutilating?
Thanks for any help or advice
