As you will know we are trying to bond Jack and Rosie with Tia and Tyson, our 11 wk old lion heads. All has gone well with Tia, Tyson and Jack who all seem comfortable together now and will run round without any squabbling. Rosie is a different kettle of fish. Unless my partner holds her she will charge at the babies and try and bite them. I bought some rescue remedy spray and have been using this for the last couple of days and she seems less anxious, but as soon as the babies come near she tries to charge at them.
Is it possible that she is jealous. She is a very attention seeking bunny and is always running round me and jumping up and down off my knee wanting to be stroked. I am not sure whether she sees the babies as a threat, is jealous or frightened, I just don't know. We are hoping to continue as we have been doing and hope she will eventually get used to the babies and stop trying to attack them. Also, when my partner has been nursing the babies, Rosie jumps up and bites his shirt and we think it is the babies scent she doesn't like. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
