1 of the robo girls had to be separated :(

[Redame]

Hi all,

Just a little back ground story.
The 3 robo girls I have have been in a Zoozone 2 for 2, maybe 3 weeks now. However yesterday I had some time to study their behaviour. We have 1 robo with a little dot on her tail, we're thinking about calling her Spot. She is submissive to both others. The other 2 girls look identical to eachother, but they were squabling quite some yesterday to establish leadership. 1 of them had her fur quite messy, so lets call her Scruff for now to keep the story simple, and the other girl we name White for convenience. Enfin, Scruff and White were pretty much not having eachother near, Scruff seemed to steer away as White was near, and she was very nervous, kept running in her wheel although it was midday. I thought I'd keep a close eye on it.

Then in the evening it was bath tub time for all 3 of them. They were doing ok with all 3, but perhaps because this was on strangers ground. I thought I saw a teeny tiny red spot on Scruffs paw, but it was so tiny I could hardly see it. However Boyfriend held her and then we could indeed establish that she had a spot there. Decided that we would still keep them together but still keep a close eye on them.

This morning it prooved that Scruff had lost a fight She had a patch of fur missing and her skin was all red and sore underneath. She was still hyper running in her wheel whilst White was checking her out every so often. I remember when Messy got bitten by Runner he too was ever so nervous. Scruff did not know what to do with herself I guess and just wanted to run away.
So I decided to put her apart, in the aquarium we kept specially for this emergency.
I hope she is sleeping now to heal, but I'm at work so I cannot check her out until I'm done. I feel sorry for Scruff, but I feel she's safer there.

I am thinking however, when Scruff is healed, could it be an idea to put White in the aquarium and keep Spot and Scruff together? I feel so sorry for Scruff to be alone whilst White was the one I think who bit her.
Could I try re-introducing them alltogether?

Below are some pictures, please be aware that some are blurry but still contain Scruffs little wound. I think it will suffice to say that I did the right think by putting her apart for now?







And some cute ones to soften the blow:





Thanks in advance for helping me with my dillema, sorry for the wall of text but I thought I'd be thorough to get accurate advice

havent kept robos apart from on their own so wont give advice! just wanted to say hope she gets better soon! x

Luckily she doesn't look too bad, you did the right thing. Usually it's best to keep the one that's been bullied on it's own, plus if the other two are happy it's really not worth seperating them and doing an intro. Although, I've not had robos this is just based on what I've heard.

Oh dear I hope she recovers quickly.
I'd agree with snickers, if the other pair gets on well together then I would keep them like that. You might find Scruff is quite happy on her own and will become very friendly with one to one attention
If the other two fall out then you can try introducing Spot to scruff.

She's so perfectly gorgeous. You've made the right choice to separate. I'd keep her separate from now on too. I hope she recovers quickly.
