Raijū won’t stop grabbing Phoenix’s tail. It is 100% an attention seeking thing, just from watching him do it I can tell. Phoenix will be busy doing something else (eating, preening, etc) and won’t look up to Raijū, so Raijū walks behind him and grabs his tail. The tables have turned!
He has been doing this for a couple of months now. I never stepped in because Phoenix can tell him off just fine. But lately Raijū has been doing it way more often, and making Phoenix cry. Phoenix is a drama king, he cries if I even accidentally touch his tail, but it’s getting to the point where Phoenix seems scared of Raijū and avoids him most of the time. His tail is also becoming frayed at the end because of how much Raijū grabs it.
This all happens out of the cage, I’ve never seen it happen in the cage. There’s no consistent situation when it happens either, I’ve seen it when Phoenix was eating, preening, playing, basically whenever he isn’t giving his attention to Raijū
Should I step in and start telling Raijū no? Or just let Phoenix keep handling it?
