Hi. I have submitted a few questions in the last two weeks and received very useful advice; I am hoping people can help me with this new problem. I have a 4 to 4.5 month old unfixed male Abyssinian named Guinness who we purchased two weeks ago. We purchased another male today who is a 2 month old Abyssinian and quite small (may be the runt). We are tentatively naming him Butler. Upon introduction (outside of the cage) Guinness was quite aggressive, making a new noise - a low chattering, and nipping and mounting Butler. He also released a very strong urine-scented secretion around/on Butler. We have tried three or four more closely monitored introductions, with the same results. For the time being they will be in separate cages (Guinness in a three-story C&C cage and Butler in a conventional cage). We want to keep them both but not if they have to always be separated. Any suggestions?
