Hello! Recently I ran into a problem with my boys. They all dominate each other back and forth and it caused a stalemate between all of them. I've tried many re introductions but it's always led to violent behavior that draws blood. That being said I separated them, now they each have their own cage. My oldest and sweetest seems to dislike me from time to time. I reach in to pet him and he sidesteps and arches his back like he's trying to prevent domination. I don't understand why he suddenly developed this behavior. Out side of the cage he seems to enjoy my company allowing me to groom him which is mostly followed by him bruxing and eye boggling. but as soon as he's back in his cage he seem dis interested or even mad. I'm thinking of breeding him in hopes it may help? Is there a way to help his behavior? do I need to hold him more now? I do know he was the alpha when they were all together and he took being dominated pretty harshly. I want my sweet Marv to be himself again. Any suggestions?
