Cuthbert&Dillon
Mama Doe
The boys are now three weeks post op and have been in the same run now since they came here, they are 16 weeks old now and can sniff and groom each other albeit through the chicken wire that separates them.
We started off in the bathroom (a neutral space) but I was really scared as Dillon could not walk properly on the flooring and they kept going behind the toilet and since where I could not reach them quickly enough - no they did not fight
Today is day three so I put a different rug down in the lounge and let them have a wider area. If they got too humpy or too nipping I told them off verbally and put my hand on them stroking them.
Dillon (who I thought would never trust me again) kept coming for a snuggle and then resumed the prancing round with Cuthbert and after an hour and a half and just two lots of nipping that took fur out they have both been put back in their sides of the run for their dinner.
The photos are well blurry sorry but I would welcome any thoughts (not on my photography on the bonding - lol)
