Soooo a thing happened last night and I need advice :s
Remember I said I've split my lounge/kitchen with a puppyplay pen covered with cardboard to keep Zeus and Athena separate? Because Athena is still new and don't fully trust her out all night I still close her in the cage at night. This morning though I found Zeus in front of Athena's cage!!! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
He little escape artist had squished through a gap I hadn't realised that's under the kitchen cupboards... the gap looks only about 10cm big but unless he jumped over the 1m high pen I can't see how else he got in there.
Now wanting to spook them by rushing and throwing the pen out the way and scooping Zeus up, I just stood there confused for a bit, watching them they were sniffing at each other and Zeus was chinning the bars while Athena was dropping her head.
There was no aggression or anything and Zeus did come hopping over to me eventually when I moved the pen to get in. checked them both over thoroughly and there's no damage anywhere.
Today he's been biting and scratching at the cardboard on the divider.
Should I just ignore him and let him try destroy the cardboard or should I tell him off? Should I remove the divider?
I don't know what to do :s my gut is telling me that Zeus wants to be near Athena but I'm nervous about doing the wrong thing and damaging their future bonding relationship :s any advice please?
