Sorry I missed this Zoobec. Yeah we always make sure he is fed a feast on arrival with another on the coffee table as reserve. One tends to be something cabbagey & herbs & the other is my home dried forage which is really lovely (so not going to last til spring this time though). They generally will eat these feasts together though he might move Chinook on sometimes
) dominant bun.
Oh this is a great update. Maybe he needed some exercise by himself to blow off some steam. Well done all.After the 2 hour chase session I left eddy in the kitchen for just over an hour. They have been so much better since I put them in together, determined they weren't going to chase. so he read my mind & has barely chased all afternoon. We have been taking the pee & calling him King of Buns & bowing to down to him, acknowledging him as (somehow
They had a face to face calm moment, ate in their side by side litter trays without issue & when he thwarted her efforts to join him under the coffee table he was quite polite about it. Mostly they have been snoozing in separate areas
thought maybe bonding and a new pen in one day might be a tad too much.
thanks. it won't last i'm sure but this is the calmest they have been yetOh this is a great update. Maybe he needed some exercise by himself to blow off some steam. Well done all.
I've chickened out tonight.
he's still a chasey monkey unless we discourage it - he gets an increased taste for it once he starts. I have been discouraging it though, since Wed morning of big chases. I don't know what to do with him. The only real difference is I guess there is less intensity in his chases - well there def is. Its normally just moving her on. most times he doesn't move her on. I mean these sessions are long & a bit boring. They don't get together much on account of the above. Chinook did hump him last night though
Does she seems bothered by moving on? Is he letting her eat etc? Oh that's good she did hump him. Maybe put him in his place a bit?
Her reaction varies tbh, sometimes she moans & stomps so I assume not happy, sometimes its binkies & she seems quite happy. he will chase her off the food sometimes but she comes back. Its just if you let him go for it, he really goes for it.
The pen we bought is by Elliebo I think its called. Your buns are bigger than mine and mine can only just fit their mouth through, but nothing else. It has the gap width online, so can decide if you think it's suitable. Oh it comes in different heights. Ours is thr shortest but we have teeny buns, I recon you'd want a taller one.
Thanks, i ordered one & it comes Monday. For 2 weeks or so I'm gonna be mega busy so at least they'll have continuity of contact. Shortly after they had their best date ever
it wasn't perfect but closer & more tolerant.
Yeah, stealthy is one word for them. The pen might also be useful for getting her used to fire being on ,herding them etc
I'm more bothered about the bunny on the floor who may get scorched.
I'm annoyed at that loo roll ruining my photo - at least it didn't reflect meI'm more bothered about the bunny on the floor who may get scorched.
And why is there a reflection of a toilet roll in the glass of the fire?????
I thin I'll buy her a cat tree for the bedroom. Eddy can't get up there no
Its nice she has a real place of sanctuary. She is up there a lot, regardless of whether Eddy is in for bonding tonight.
I recon she'd love a cat treeI thin I'll buy her a cat tree for the bedroom. Eddy can't get up there no
We are having several face to face meetings - sometimes she gets spooked, sometimes he goes to chase, quite often he just thinksabout it but doesnt act.
We got one of the little ones with a platform and an enclosed box at the bottom. We were lucky they didn;t wee in the box really ;P There was the occasional one but that was all. Can't use it with Barrie because he does wee everywhere.
