I have a male and female who seem to have changed roles lately. We got the male, Goose, at about 4 weeks old and Sophia about 6 months later (she was about 6 weeks old). Sophia has always bullied Goose. She's quite a big girl compared to him. When he would eat, she would walk up behind him and lay down but when she decided that he had had enough she would get up and slap him in the head. The strange thing was that he would walk away.
Well lately, they have reversed their roles. He now bullies her. The funny thing is that it is mostly about food. (yes, we have a dish for each with the same food in it) But recently, Goose has started to run her off and doesn't want her within 10 feet of him unless he's in the mood to be around her.
They don't fight, which ever one is being the dominant one at the time simply swats the other and that one walks off.
Is this role reversal normal?
Have any of you ever seen this before?
