My girls (sisters) are 10 weeks old and there seems to be some struggle for alpha. Zsa-Zsa is larger than Eva with Zsa-Zsa weighing in at 1 lb 10oz and Eva weighin 1 lb 2oz. They play nicely together then all of a sudden Zsa-Zsa is dragging Eva around by her ear. I correct her but within minutes she is after Eva again. Eva has cried out several times.
I've separated them at night now b/c poor Eva is not allowed to sleep if Zsa-Zsa is up. Zsa-Zsa will attempt to steal food, takes Eva's toys and will nip at her as she passes by her.
HELP!
They are so small and while I monitor all their "free" time (out of the xpen) it just seems that within a blink of the eye we have a battle. I'm worried Eva is going to get injured badly.
