Sjt657 191 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 If I go out with 2 chicken legs or 2 bits of steak or what ever I always take a couple of bits out but they always fight over one bit of food while the other bit lays in front of them ? Used to find it funny but they are really fighting now and I don't want one of them to get hurt ? It's like it's a dominance thing they are brother and sister . She has been done ! Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Give them a bowl of raw mince every now and again so they get used to eating in each others company.. You might find they still both want to eat from the same piece of meat when they have chunks of it, but they might not be so keen to fight over it so much. I find a hob will take more than his fair share of meat when you have a solitary Jill in with a solitary hob, keep an eye on both their weights. I switched to feeding a good amount every other day when I only had one of each because the hob was getting very, very overweight and the Jill was getting skinny.. Quote Link to post
The one 8,493 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just put in one big piece and they have to sit beside each other , Quote Link to post
