Strolling the yard
Ok, so Zora is doing great! She's settling into her new home nicely, and I think she's quite happy.
EXCEPT... She lunges at both of my older two boys (11 & 14 yrs) whenever they walk by her cage, or if she feels they're within snatching distance. Neither of them have done anything to her, I'm 100% certain of that. It's been that way since the day she got here. I have them stand back away from her and just talk gently to her, trying to show her that they're gentle and nice. But she continues to do mini snatches at them while they talk to her.
Being a rescue, I'm don't know all of her history, but clearly some boys teased or her at some point. She doesn't act like that towards my 5 year old. She's even taken a treat from the 5 yr old when we were at the vet appt. It's just the older boys. They really want her to like them, of course, we all do. Any suggestions??
