Do you feed them together? You can try feeding them in the same room, and really slowly, over weeks move their dishes closer and closer together. Some people do it on opposite side of a screen door or a tall gate. You’re basically trying to get them to associate each other with something good, ie. food. Make sure they are always supervised, and be sure that everyone always has an “escape route” if they’re feeling threatened. If helps to have 2 people, one for each animal. Let them smell each other under doors, but don’t force them in each other’s faces.Remember, they can feel your emotions, so calm voices and slow movements. Good luck with everyone!
