Oh you have hit it on the nail for sure. I never leave them together when I leave or at night, I have one instagater who I seperate, but now I have another it looks like. Ugg.
Mine get along too like yours BUT, every so often, like you said, all hell breaks loose.
I have to figure out how to make everyone happy without having to put anyone in a kennel. I just don't like kennels.

Then, like you said, the others join in. When mine get like that, it can be tense between them for a week or so then it settles back down. I think it's a hormonal thing but not directly in sync with their heat cycle. Everyone's situation is different, but I just keep an eagle eye on mine at those times. I'm usually home but wouldn't leave them together if I was gone. They really can kill each other. If you know which ones are the instigators, maybe you should keep them separated when you're gone. Sorry I can't give you any real advice but I do sympathize with you. We think of them as our babies but sometimes the 'dog' comes out in them. |
