Simply because the advice here and in some of the forums, and in a number
of
books, suggests that after a short while there is a chance that the
fighting
will die down, on account of it having kicked off due to them being
****fted
into a much smaller cage.
Now that they are back in their familiar terriitory (their normal large
hutch and paddock), the scrapping has indeed quietened and they now seem
to
"bicker" sometimes rather than fight, and they do spend quite some time
with
one another. Thankfully the fighting never lead to them trying to bite
each
other.
In fini****ng, I felt it would have been a knee-jerk reaction - an
overkill,
if you will - to immediately separate them. We left them to work it out
for
a couple of days and thankfully, it looks like that has done the trick.If
they had continued to fight then obviously we'd have separated them, no
question. I also appreciate that it may still be necessary should they
start
up again!
Fingers crossed though.
