Separation

Pebbles and Rocky have been separated. This is actually to the benefit of Pebbles. She appears to be bullied by Rocky!

Here are some of the things we noticed before deciding to put them in different cages:

1. Pebbles not eating well
2. Pebbles becoming less active
3. Pebbles appears to have a limping leg (a check shows that she's perfectly fine)
4. Rocky always running and bumping into Pebbles
5. Rocky climbing on Pebbles (no, he's not lusty)
6. Rocky nibbling on Pebbles (she was obviously agitated)

So, based on these, we thought for the better they ought to be separated. Strangely, the minute Pebbles realised Rocky was placed in a different cage after their evening exercise on Tuesday, she seemed perkier and begin to be more active! And yes, she has been eating a lot since. Whereas for Rocky, he seemed pretty upset that he was no longer in the same cage as Pebbles!

All we can say is, as long as Rocky doesn't learn how to behave with others, he will be separated!
