Well i decided it was time to see how Peppa would get along with Daisy as shes finished her quarentine period with no signs of illness and has put on some nice weight
I put them together in a plastic tank to see how they would react. All went well, lots of curiosity and licking
So i put Peppa in Daisy's viv to have a little explore while Daisy got snuggles
Put Daisy back in her viv with Peppa and again there was a lot of licking...but i think Daisy got in Peppa's face a bit as Peppa did a really fast tail rattle...and then nipped Daisy on the back of the neck
It didnt break the skin, just a little scratch, but it scared Daisy and she ran away and hid in her moist hide
Its kinda funny as Daisy is bigger than Peppa and is a big scaredy cat, but i feel sorry for her Afterall it was her home first and she is just a little sweetheart who wants a friend.
Since yesterday there have been no more squables. Peppa isnt agressive, she just spends most of her time in the cool hide. And Daisy is a big chicken and stays either in her warms hide or the moist one.
I know from when we first got Peppa she was very jumpy at being in a new home so im hoping its just that and Daisy freaked her out a little.
Ive seen Peppa looking at Daisy quite a bit while shes in the warm hide and she has been wandering round a bit and sat outside the hide on the heatmat.
Other than just letting them get on with it is there anything i should or shouldnt do? Daisy has been getting a lot of attention cos i feel sorry for her and ive been handling Peppa too so she doesnt feel left out.
Yes i know people say they dont have emotions like other animals but i believe they feel ...not really jelousy...but they definitly seem to sulk if u pick up one and ignore the others :laugh4:
