Day 2, out in pen together, so far he's started to groom her, till he sees me watching then stops, only 1 chase so far, but noticed he binkys during chase, so could it be aggressive play. Rosey does it to smokey, she waits till hes close then binkies & twirls round as he runs under her, so time he stops he looks confused as if hes thinking where the .... did she go, mean while shes behind him & nudges his bum, giving him a fright.

Is there any way you could take that pen, and set it up indoors temporarily for 4-5 days? Because every time you move them, you're disturbing their progress and its essentially starting all over again. Youll likely be doing this scenario for a number of weeks because the bond has to keep resetting.

It is good there has been some grooming, thats really positive but I always advise against moving buns during bonding, the only way to get a good idea if they will bon is to keep them in the same space for around 5 days.

Not able to do it indoors, the pen stays where it is, I moved them to bed but next to each other, left the pen in the middle of the garden over night. Didnt move it this morning, only reduced size by over lapping the panels which has made a diffence, their not avoiding each other as much now. I have the back door open so can see them everytime I go by, hubby watches from window. Plus if I brung them in my big lump of a pup would knock it over when were sleeping, shes to nosey for her size.

The face to face hold has stopped, shes putting her head under his chin now which he grooms every so often, he sits above her now not crouched down all nervous. They even ate together, gave them 2 separate dishes but ended up sharing 1 then moving to next, taking turns getting a mouth full to munch.
