Well, the thing I didn't want to happen has had to happen. I have had to separate Cuddles and Muddles tonight. So now I have 4 Robos that live individually.
They were squeak fighting again and afterwards they were really not happy going near each other and would either circle the tank to avoid each other or chase each other away which would result in another fight. One of them was more scared than the other and the poor lamb was running for his life in the wheel and if the other came out of the house it was obvious he was on edge.
I didn't want to take any chances of possibly finding something very upsetting when I checked them tomorrow. I am hoping I have done the right thing???????
I'm really sad that I can't watch them interact anymore as it's really great watching Robos play together.
I did start thinking this morning that I suspected that they weren't getting along aswell anymore as they were together but under the house and one seemed a little uneasy at the attention from the other one.
Please can I have some advice, have I done the right thing or were they doing something that could be classed as finding the dominant hamster??? in which case, I should not have separated.
I am quite upset that this has had to happen
but I was so scared of possible outcomes and have been worried since I had to separate the first of the 4 as he had been bullied. Then a week later number 2 had to be separated (now those two are Cherub and Star) now I can pick proper names for Cuddles and Muddles.
Have I been too panicky and separated when I shouldn't have done???
