Gonna jump right in this!!!

I started out bonding Winnie and Pepito in their carrier on top of the dryer, did this about 3 times! They leveled up and I started bonding them in one of those tall thin laundry baskets, with the narrower base! So, they dont have much room to move about. I have done this about 6-8 times already. and now they do so well in the basket, i just leave them in the basket next to the couch with me and they can sit there for over an hour, no fighting, no aggression. They take turns grooming each other(winnie grooms more then pepito) Pepito will put his head down for her to groom him. Since, they were doing soooo well with the basket..i tried the bath tub. They were good for about 5 mins. They started to scuffle, not really fighting, like spinning in circles. I stopped it. I took them out and placed them back in the basket for about an hour again(ending on a good note)…again they did amzing in the basket.

So, what was the problem? lol to much room? maybe they dont trust each other yet with that much space?

They hang out in the basket for over over an hour at a time most nights and do just fine. So, Maybe a little bigger of a laundry basket? like one of those square based ones..was the bath tub to much?

anyone? lol 

thanks in advance!!

I would try the bath tub again, just make the sessions shorter. Don’t give them the time to want to start fighting and gradually increase the length of time you put them in there.
