Hi all,
I have two 3.5 month old girl babies that I plan on getting spayed when they are a little older. I've kept them together up to this point because they are bonded and absolutely love each other, but was recently told I should separate them when they are not supervised due to possible fighting when puberty hits. I have a couple questions:
1. Can separating them cause them to become depressed? I'm afraid they will stop eating/playing if they are sad.
2. I keep them in a large playpen right now (almost the size of a whole bedroom). Can caging them to keep them separate cause them to become unbonded?
3. Does anyone have tips on how to handle this situation?
4. Will it be possible to re-bond after spaying if they do start to not like each other?
Any advice is greatly appreciated! I'm having a really though time knowing I will have to cage them in order to keep them apart as they aren't used to being in a cage.
