Over a week ago, I found Pressie with a hurt toe. Although I didn't see it happen, I am almost positive that Honey bit her. It looked like it was bitten, and I checked the whole cage and couldn't find anything that she could have hurt herself on.
Pressie has been in a smaller cage by herself since it happened, so that her toe could heal. Now I am worried to put them back together.... I don't know if I should. I don't know why Honey would bite her.... maybe it is because she is hormonal? Maybe it was an accident? I just don't know.
Some background: Honey and Pressie are around 6 / 7 years old (I'll celebrate their 7th hatchdays on their gotcha day in September). I adopted them as a bonded pair in 2014, and they have been caged together since I got them. And I know they were caged together in their previous home. Honey has always had the bolder personality. She can be bully-ish, as far as pushing Pressie out of the way to get a treat, or to make her get out of her spot. But I've never seen her do it aggressively. Pressie has a much shyer personality, and does what ever Honey says. They are best friends, and preen each other and snuggle with each other every day. They usually step up for me together.They have a big cage, with plenty of room and perches and toys for both of them to hang out separately and do their own thing, but they are always in the same spot.
I want to put them back together, they have always been best friends. I just don't want Honey to hurt her again, and I don't know if she will.......even though she never has before.
Advice?
