Hi,
So as you guys know, I have kiwi (1 year old spayed doe) and papaya ( aprox 3 month old buck). Papaya will be neutered at 6 months or so. I have been letting them out together supervised to play. This week, Kiwi has finally started acknowledging that Papaya is there and grooming him I was thrilled! Kiwi was previously bonded to Citrus (neutered buck) but he passed away two months ago. Now Papaya being a young boy likes to jump Kiwi. She would either sit there and take it or run away. I would stop Papaya of course but he always got a few "humps" in.
Yesterday, I left them for a second to wash my hands, and I heard things banging. So I come around the corner and they are full on fighting! Doing the bunny circles and hair was everywhere No injuries that I saw yesterday, just missing hair. I will check them again today when I'm home from work.
I don't know why this happened, and I don't know who started the fight... Why would they start to bond and then fight like this? I'm so upset that this happened
