Well. I got this lovely new doe as you may or may not know. Young one.
I've tried to introduce her to the colony, kept her in a cage inside it, let her out to explore a bit while they were busy eating etc. But it's not working, they want to kill her!
They go after her instanty! It doesn't matter if she stays or runs, tries to greet them friendly or show all the submissve behaviour she can.. I even caught her screaming but they kept going on. It didn't get better either, and I've found them lying outside her cage just waiting for her to come close enough to get bitten..! I never imagind such murderous behaviour!
The younf kit - who still needs a name, Lakrits daughter - and Spira seem to stand a better chance. There's some chasing but it's short runs and they mostly ignore each other.
So I divided the colony into.. two pairs? I built a wall between them, small enough mesh to avoid too much fighting. I don't really like it, I wanted to give them large space and live like a happy family! But this is what you get when you're not sharing - less space!
Well, at leadt I can stop thinking about introductions and feel bad for keeping her locked up in a cage in the monster sisters cage. I have too much else to worry about. So this is it.
