Chuzzle and Sugar had a falling out a few days ago. Sugar was forced up onto the loft and she refused to come down. I put food and water and hay up there for her so she wouldn't go hungry or thirsty.
I think Chuzzle realized the error of her ways and was wheeking rather sadly for her friend to come down. I decided to intervene and after Sugar's handling time (So I can get her socialized, since she is the more skittish of the two) I would block off the ramp with a piece of coroplast and then put Sugar back down with Chuzzle.
After a bit of Rumbling at each other, they made peace over a chunk of cucumber and are now munching happily on some fresh hay. They popcorn chased each other around the cage. They're pretty happy to be with each other now. It was rather sad when Sugar was in the loft. She came out of the hidey to eat and drink then go back in.
Sugar is the most submissive of the two so I have to pretty much force her out of her comfort zone at times. They're happy again at least.
