I know this might be a crazy question but here goes....
We have 4 Russians, 3 have been with us for about 5 years. Our new baby (Pasha) we got earlier this year. The older 3 had been torturing little Pasha, humping him, biting him... it broke my heart. So obviously, we separated him from the others. We have a very large outdoor pen for them with lots of tunnels and places to hide, nothing helped. They would find him, or he would go looking for them. He's been separated now for the better part of this year. Every now and then I try to put them together but it doesn't work.
Today, my husband came up with an idea... but before I would do this, I thought I would check with all of you. He suggested putting something like hot sauce on Pasha's feet (that's where they try to bite him). Maybe the smell (can they smell?) or the taste would make them leave Pasha alone. But, would that hurt them or Pasha?
If anyone has any thoughts, I would love to hear them. This is my go-to forum whenever I need help. You guys all rock! Thanks.
