  So I have been bonding My Bunnies (Storm -male-neutered and Misty-female-spayed) I’m 1 1/2 weeks in I have done lots of stress sessions and a few in a bigger area(2’x3′) And Neither have Humped/Mounted! I that something to worry about?!?! I’ve tried different places and the sessions have been 1-2 hours. When i first started bonding there was alot of fighting but most of that has stopped, Lately he has been doing this kind of gridty type of nipping on her. Storm seems like the dominate one with his behavior, when he nips her she gets non trusting and then doesn’t move cause she is scared.
  
  Do you think I just need more time? Or is there something else I should try?
  
  Any bonding ideas,tips I Would LOVE!
  
  Thanks! Abby-StormyRabbits

  1 1/2 weeks is still quite early in your bonding. Humping usually takes place when 1 bunny is trying to show dominance over the other. The same goes for grooming. It sounds like they are not sure who the dominant bunny should be. Maybe try switching up your routine, perhaps doing some bonding work in a smaller area and see how that goes.
