Placing Chins

[Kaiya]

I have had two males that hated each other so much, that even though they were in separate cages they would fuss at each other across the room, and pace in front of their cage doors. They have never been in a fight or in the same cage which I am sure would case the death of one. I have no idea how it start unless it was one of those "I'm prettier that you" deals, ha.

Ouch, that is a scary thought. A lot if the replies I've received led me to believe females are harder to handle them males, but I've never had a problem with my females. They seem so mellow compared to the males, they get along with everybody. It was kind of surprising to see it was the males causing me all the trouble, lol. I think they just needed more time. I moved their cages side by side so they could interact without fighting, and slowly allowed them to play together outside the cage for longer periods of time each day. Now they are in the same cage. Playtime is great, inside the cage they aren't 100%, but it doesn't look like they are going to get into a fight. There's no more chasing or yelling at each other. They kind of just have their own little area where they chill out. I'm hoping they will bond together over time.
