Try Rescue Remedy in their water.

Do they do a lot of sniffing of where each other have been (are they scent oriented or sight oriented?) If they are 'sniffers' try the vanilla on the base of their tails. It confuses the scent.


Sounds like they were isolated from eachother fine.

The problem is that they have a 'bad mental photo' of each other.
This is hard to change. The water bottle will only treat the symptom, it won't find a cure.

If you don't think that a re-integration would work,
You might try crating one in a large pen, in the middle of the room. Let them acclimatize while they can't really get at each other. Then switch who is in the pen.

Sounds like Corkscrew is the one with the problem, but Tuna in the pen, and let Corkscrew inspect him.

You know, rehoming might be the happiest solution sometimes.
I had a foster here that could NOT be integrated. It would never have worked. I imagined him being mine and how I'd handle it, and most of all I wanted him to be happy, even if not with me.



Wishing you luck.
