  on Friday. All day Friday and yesterday thy ewere great with the exception of a minor tiff…almost as soon as I went to bed last night they got into a fight. I borke them up and they went right back at it. So I opened up their pen to give them each some space and slept on the couch and broke up 5 or 6 through the night. The last one was about 2AM until just before work this morning. So I have one in the crate and the other in the pen with their litter boxes right next to each other as they did when she had them and was bonding. I left the HRS a voice message and email and am anxiously awaiting a response from them. Anyways, I am pretty unhappy with these developments and have been wantiong to post that they were home since Fri, just been busy. Anyways, I will keep you all informed as to what happens.

  Ok so I heard back. They are saying that I am doing everything correctly and just to keep them seperated but switching cages until they start to come around (was a little more in depth but I am sure all of you know what is up heheh). I was really worried that she was going to tell me that I have to take Winkie back and that things just would not work out. Instead she implied that Orville is being territorial and that he is jealous (which are both exactly what I had thought). As soon as I find my USB cable I will get pics posted up!

  I’m not surprised that the bond had a setback when your boy got back into his old territory. You’ll need to do some additional bonding work with them, but I’m sure in no time they’ll be best friends again!

  It does sound like territory fights. They wouldn’t let you give up that easily!
  Orville is just saying “I met this great new friend. Had a swell vacation. Hope to visit again next year. Wait. New friend followed me home. Moved in? What the heck? I didn’t invite you!”
  
  Calling them for further instructions is much better than trying to get advice here. You’re doing great. Now you need a nap.
