As we get settled I'm noticing Jengo acting hissy with our new baby. I noticed it occurred just after community play time. Saturday it got so bad I separated him into his happy place and I sat with him, gave him treats and played with him solo so he could feel special. Yesterday I noticed anything Bizley (formerly Wiggles) played with Jengo wanted. When they got treats Jengo would take them from Biz. So again I waited for Biz to nap and took Jengo upstairs for special time.
Call me insane but I think it's jealousy because if I'm outside I can see then interacting just fine. They eat together, play with each other, sleep with each other...they are getting along well when I'm not on the mix. Jengo gets upset when I interact with Biz.
I'm making a point to have time with each of them every day by themselves. Any advice? It must occur often in multi-pet homes. I like that they are bonding and getting along and don't want to undo our awesome progress.
Sidebar - Jengo is known for having play aggression. He will bite and try to wrestle my hand but I give him a big toy to play with and he gets it out of his system. Jengo is invited to be a part of all of Biz's play and gets the same treats/attention pettings. I think Jengo is being territorial when I'm around but he isn't like that when I'm not.
