Hey guys! So yesterday I tried the neutral territory intro again and my two chins were fine for about 30 seconds and then Momo (aggressive one) started attacking my other chin so I stopped the intro session... When I used this method 2 weeks ago, Momo attacked my other chin right away... Should I try again next week? or should I try another intro method?
p.s. I trimmed Momo's whiskers already
 
I'm not big on the "neutral territory" method of introduction. I think it just gives them an excuse and the ability to attack each other. Instead, I would try a cage within a cage. They are forced to be in the same space without the ability to leap on each other. I would start with Momo in the intro cage for several hours, then switch. I would also make sure the cage has been pretty much depersonalized from Momo's stuff so that he doesn't feel extra territorial.
