Ok so it has been about 2 weeks since Rufus was neutered.  I thought I would take the second barrier down around the cages so that when they are out they can go up to each others cages and sniff etc… not really to move onto full on session yet and thought this would be a good start.

well this backfired.  Rufus went to check out the front of Anya and Bugz cage and Anya came down to the bottom level and there was sniffing and such going on.  Then Bugz came down and all hell broke lose.  Bugz began agressively chasing Anya away the front of the cage and at one stage bit her.  I grabbed her out of the cage to make sure she was ok, he just took off a tuff of fur.  Then Bugz now no longer having to deal with Anya was lunging at the wire front of his cage and thumping.  I was suprised, he is normally so laid back.

So i switched around, Rufus in his cage and Bugz and Anya out.  Bugz again chased Anya so she got cuddles with me instead and Bugz peed ALL OVER the front of Rufus’ cage so Rufus then started peeing everywhere. 

I then locked Bugz up and put Anya down and she went to check out Rufus and he was trying to groom her through the cage bars.  So I look both of them into the Bathtub and there was grooming and loving and friendship and finally a nap….

So here I was worried about Anya the only female and instead i have to deal with insane Bugz the agressive male!

Going to talk to the vet tonight but thinking I might try bonding sessions with just Bugz and Rufus and hopefully if I can bond them then I will add Anya into the mix maybe????  I had it all planned out and now nothing is going to plan!
