Not sure if was pure food or if he was trying to talk sexy to her and she got offended? Most likely was a food response.
I have never had an issue having multiple animals out at once before during education shows or any other time. She reached out almost 4 feet to get to him. Happened so fast she had him before we could do anything to prevent it. Her lunge for him pushed me back a step with the force she went after him. She was draped over one shoulder. She grabbed his head and was not letting to. Took almost a minuet to separate her from her lock on his head and boy is she strong. I would even wager she is stronger than me in most cases and I am no wimp. I am happy she doesn't see me as food. IDK why she went off food for 5 weeks.
I had even thought about trying to breed them. I guess that is a Hell NO! Keep in mind that their reach is huge! Much longer than you would ever have imagined. They are much stronger than you think. They are always wild. Love them both. Taking Monty to the vet today to get his face and jaw looked at. Hope his jaw is not broken. I sent the vet photos last night and he said was not an emergency to bring him last night but would be good to bring him in today. I think he is more scared than anything and for good reason.
