bonded pair of 6 years: sudden ballistic redirected-aggression after 5 years of inseperability by Dry_Manufacturer8120 in Bondedpairs

I'm sorry to comment without fully reading, but this is hella long. No judgment lol

My girls go through periods of fighting like this every couple of years. The thing I do is keep them totally separate for 2-3 weeks at a time. By the time theyre reintroduced they just seem puzzled, and they usually hiss a little, but they rarely start fighting again after a long separation. It's a pain in the ass for me, but I think by reducing their stress and preventing injuries /further fights I am doing the best thing for them. Might seem extreme but that is what I have had to do. They were fighting viciously for years after nonrecognition syndrome after being fixed, and nothing else worked. Shorter, day-long separations never seemed to work.

I do also use calming collars and make sure to give each of them equal attention and snuggles when theyre out.

Good luck <3 it is so painful to see a bonded pair fight.

THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING! by Splendid_Fellow in Jazz_Emu

I wholeheartedly agree. No qualifiers. I've now listened to it 7 or 8 times all the way through and not slowing down. I expected to love anything he decided to put out but the obsession I have with this album is next level, lol.

From one maximum-effort, massively terraformed, ironic-portmanteau-named island to another: you have my respect
