In a way the second day together wasn’t as good as the first. The problem now, is that the new girls are spending the entire day at the top of the ladder, and that isn’t moving things on. If I took them down from the ladder the other girls immediately chased them back up again.<\/p>\n

If I chase them down they get chased back up again. I worried that they were getting no food, so I did this, but this is a one off only. I realise that it isn’t the answer because it isn’t helping them to mix and it enables to them stay here all day.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day I separated them again which gave them some time to have a scratch around and some food and water. On Saturday I felt that we were making progress but on Sunday they spent their entire day on top of the ladder. I have come to an impasse. How do I move them on from this!<\/p>\n

I think the next stage is to try to get them together at night and see if that moves things on. This is definitely the most difficult integration I have ever done. I sometimes despair of them ever being united but I know that we will get there in the end. I have to keep trying different things until I find out what works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
