Haha, oh man! Well, he sure acts dominant when someone tries to take his favorite toys!
So they really should all be the same age. I got them at 6 months from a woman who had rescued their pregnant mom. She said they're brothers from the same litter.

LOL!! Well, then he is still dominant over the three, but like you have been surmising, one wants to be 2nd instead of third. This could take weeks to months for them to settle and mutually agree on, I'm sorry to say.

Pads' face is a treat!
"Just look at these two idiots! All the stress and grief to get attention, then they go and do this?! I give up!"

I shouldn't be posting this (just asking for trouble!), but the Mauraders have been together since 9:30 on the 12th.
They're due a cage clean though, it's starting to get a bit smelly. But I really really don't want to upset things!

Clean one shelf at a time, over a few days. It will help with the transition, but not remove all the scents at once.

Hahaha, fair enough Bouncy!
They're all back to normal from what I can tell! Moony and Prongs really have been cuddly with each other (their usual state) which has been a huge relief. It's been over 15 days of them together, so fingers crossed it was just getting those last fights out of their systems!

It's been just over 2 months with the Mauraders having individual playtime. Prongs is still fluffing up a bit the first few minutes of being in the play area, so I dont think he's quite ready to share yet. And with peace in the cage *hoping that continues* it's not worth rocking the boat with him. However, both Moony and Pads have been very chill. So I put them out together. They had a lovely 20 minutes scampering about, ignoring each other expect for the obligatory quick groom when they ran into each other! It was wonderful

And they started again. :/ Not sure what set them off. Prongs had some fur pulled out underneath his chin. They're separated at the moment since I have to go back to work.

I'm so sorry, Hpdegus! SIGH!! You must be ready to pull out some hair yourself.

Yeah, not super happy about this starting up again. Especially since this was the first day in 2.5 months I was able to go into work again. So I wasn't able to sit with them and mediate.

We had 12 hours of beautiful peace. They were cuddling and grooming and happy, even when Pads was off doing his loner thing. Not sure what set them off this time, but I'm thrilled I wasnt woken up ridiculously early to the sounds of fighting!

Prongs somehow managed to screw up and tick Pads off. Unflappable Pads who will waltz right through a fight because it isn't his business.
Prongs and Pads were doing the whole locked arm noses together shoving each other thing while Moony stood entirely too close to the action. Moony was a bit of a brat too, every once in a while he would reach out and kinda tap Prongs like he wanted to get in the fight as well!

Squidgy used to do that! Sausage and Spud would spend ages doing the *girlyslapgirlyslapgirlyslapflyingkick*. Squidgy would feels left out and go over to try and join in, but they just ignored him. If he did manage to get one of them alone and try to box, they just walked away!

Squidgy/Moony . . . this isn't a game! Or tag team ring fighting!
