I think their cycle lasts like 3 weeks, the first week she will not like him, it is in the second week they go crazy. She will LOVE him then. One of my friends told me Bronx was to young, and he was giving every sign he had no idea how to get it right. One morning they were whining and BINGO, he figured it out.
My two were inseparable before that, I will say - they loved each other, played together all the time, slept together; I didn't think I could keep them apart for all that time.
When Zowie got prego, after 4 weeks, she REALLY hated Bronx. They fought so badly, we had to buy a new cage. They had to be separated ALL THE TIME. This has gone one for 2 months now. She would just look at him, and they would start to fight. If you picked one up, they would lift the other with their teeth. He tore up her eye, it gooked shut for several days; They both still have scars.
Finally, Bronx is now allowed to play with the puppies and they have stopped fighting. As much as I love the puppies, I did not like my babies fighting, I was a slave to them for 2 months, moving them from room to room and cage to cage to keep them apart. Any slip up and they were fighting. Now I know I can separate them for a couple of weeks for heat. |
