Hazel picking on Faline again
Faline had tufts of hair sticking out her back again today Hazel has been chasing her a bit again. Is this soemthing I need to be worried about? I don't want to remove Hazel as she would have to be a house bun but wouldn't have the back room like Rosie did as DH has his computer in there now. Being a house bun wouldn't be ideal but I don't want to rehome her because I am rather fond of her.
Do you think this relationship will work out in the long run? I'm just trying to plan ahead a bit. Thanks for reading

Re: Hazel picking on Faline again
Luna picks on thistle a bit sometimes...she went through a phase and his fur looked a bit patchy, but it's grown back now and she's stopped doing it! Although not having any experience of what wld happen between three buns,it cld hav jst been a little disagreement I suppose :/

Re: Hazel picking on Faline again
Hmm. How are they post-hair removal? Are they snuggling or grooming or generally being friendly with each other? If they otherwise have a good relationship I would think that it is just a bump in the road, but if they are seriously not getting along you may need to separate them.
Hopefully it works out

Re: Hazel picking on Faline again
They go through spates of Hazel picking on her and chasing her around. When it gets really bad, Vince steps in and tells Hazel off by chasing her back!!
After Vince attacked Hutch, I don't want Faline to get hurt in the same way.
They do snuggle all together and all looks well most of the time, it's just these episodes where Hazel gets fed up with Faline.
I guess untill skin is broken or Faline starts chasing back, I'll leave them as they are, else Hazel will have to come indoors which isn't the ideal soluition really.

Re: Hazel picking on Faline again
I wonder if they are just having a bit of a spat? With the bonding attempt perhaps it has just left them a little on edge?
I would just keep an eye.

Re: Hazel picking on Faline again
I agree with Katie and think this is post-stress from the failed bonding. There will be a lot of dynamics settling down in the trio so just keep an eye out and see how things generally are going. Wolfie and Felix are bonding strongly all the time, but sometimes Wolfie still does a bit of chasing. It is probably about hierarchy.
