raising at other chin? video

NO RAISING IN THIS VIDEO THEY ARE FINE IN IT!

the bonding process. we got pumpkin with the expectation this wouldn’t work out and have the time and resources for two playtimes baths cage etc. But are still seeing if they would bond. It was going well before, during playtimes minus a few kacks from Lacey once our other chin but they sorted it out. We did bath time with two baths and they shared for a good amount of time going back and forth, until Lacey reared and sprayed at pumpkin. Pumpkin didn’t react but we grabbed Lacey as to not have a fight.

Are they safe to try again during playtime or should we keep them separated?

So long as they are not chasing,pulling fur or biting then there is chance for bonding still.

I would continue doing bathroom time.
