So, the new run arrived and is half set up in the garden (no top on it yet). I decided to give them another try and put a couple of small apple branches (donated by my neighbours) in as a distraction.
I think we had very slight progress. Initially they were both more interested in checking out the run and then they approached each other, nose to nose. At that point the boxing and fighting started again. I used the very soft mop head to seperate them. They carried on attacking and then resting in repetition for a bit. I did laugh when they carried on fighting the mop after they’d been seperated though! They then ignored each other for a few minutes, one of them was periscoping in the corner with his back to the other at one point and they both had a sniff of the branches. They then decided to carry on the fight again. I seperated them at that point. There was some fur pulling but no injuries, well apart from a bruised bite mark to my hand! That was the point when I decided to switch to the nearby mop!
I think I’ll try them together again in a day or too as I do think there was very slight progress. They may never want to be together but whilst it’s not causing them any issues trying I’ll carry on.
