We own two chins. One male (Bonkers) and one female (Lola) Our female, fights us tooth and nail when it comes to cage extraction. She bites, barks, leaps off the bars/ETC. The only way to avoid this, is to hold her bath up to the door. Once out, she still looks very frightened but is otherwise sweet as can be. She cannot wait to get back into her cage, for some reason. Whenever we get near the cage, she goes crazy again wanting back in.
Also, although she does not physically harm Bonkers. She is very possessive over the food/water. When he hops up to eat, she jumps on top of the bowl, barks at him until he backs off. We have to remove her from the cage to allow him to eat, as he has lost weight over it. Is there anything we can do, to resolve the issues? They have been living in the same cage, for about 7 months.
