For somewhat selfish human reasons I hope that I can bond my current pair (Kirby & Penny) with my boy Toby. It would be so much easier if they could all be together at once and share playtime, etc.
Some background: All 3 are spayed and neutered. Toby and Kirby are two boys who I failed miserably to bond last year. Kirby was always pretty scared of Toby and Toby seemed to anxious and aggressive whenever he saw Kirby. They never got along so I gave up earlier this year. 6 months ago I adopted Penny and she bonded with Kirby after a few weeks. Penny and Toby have never been formally introduced. Toby lives in the living room, while the pair lives in the other bedroom.
I opted not to put Toby's Leith condo in the same room as the pair because the last time Toby lived side-by-side with Kirby, he lunged at Kirby every chance he got and their relationship was totally sour. Toby pretty much held a grudge against him every time he got to go out and play and he had to be in. He just seems to have a complex about it.
So now... I'm in a tough spot. Kirby appears to be the dominant bun in the bonded pair. I'm supposed to bond the dominant bun with the newcomer right? That would mean Kirby and Toby all over again, right? Eek.
Any advice for me? :expressionless
