Bonded with one and not other. - 07/12/19 06:30 PM
Hi there!
I'm new to this forum and my sugar babies. I have 2 bonded neutered males. I got them from a lady who wanted to rehome them about 1.5 months ago. I'm not really sure of their exact age but under a yr old. Their names are Rocket and Pocket. I have pretty successfully bonded with rocket. He comes to the front of the cage when he hears me and will climb on my hand when he's out. I am in fact trying to type this with one hand bc my other is snuggling him in his pouch. Pocket on the other hand does not want much to do with me. He is in my pillow case where he always goes. I have read several things on here and know that it's normal for one to bond before the other. I am giving him his time and being patient. What I did want to know, is it ok to take just rocket out to play with and snuggle and leave pocket in his cage where he feels safe? I dont want him to be lonely or sad but I feel like I could start taking rocket around the house with me and we'd really enjoy each other.
On a side note: I'm also going on vacation for a week. I have a very capable and sweet person to take care of them but I have to take their cage to her house. I am going to sleep with their pouch and some fleece to keep my scent in the cage but does anyone have any tips or advice while I'm away? I'm gonna miss them so much.
Thank you in advance,
KC
