Default Bonding Campbells

I have 2 female adult campbells who i want to bond, but in a neutral territory, the older female just chases the younger female and tries to bite her. Can they ever live together?

Possibly but its probably not worth the stress for them.
If you do really want to introduce then I'd go for the split cage method and see how it goes from there, just remember that even if they do successfully get introduced they may fall out again later

I agree with Kyrill, It may be more stress than its worth. Why do you want them together?
The split cage way is a good way to do introductions but it still has a chance of them not getting on.

Jo Jo has lived alone ever since I got her. She is getting older now. Somewhere deep inside, I feel a little guilt that she doesn't have the companionship of her own kind, even though she has us two humans. Is this maybe the reason you want to bond the two of them?

I think its past gone trying to get them to live together. They will both will live fine by themselves. They don't "need" to have a companionship like we do so don't worry about them being alone.

I was under the impression that they normally live in groups. That's why my comment.
