Okay let’s start from the beginning, Voldemort is a 6 month old male and Bellatrix is a 7 month old female. They live right next to each other with just a piece of fence between them, they have been living like this sense we got them (month or so ago). They love laying next to each other and she even grooms him through the fence! So we got him fixed and we are waiting on getting her fixed because she has tilt, and our vet wants to get that under control before we do any surgery. So I thought okay, they still can hang out because he is fixed right?
The first time that we let them be together they ignored each other the whole time, which was about 20 min.
The second time he humped her face a few times then they were cool, this was for about 20min also.
Well we kept doing this daily for about a week, there was no humping just lots of binkys and playing with toys, each time was 20-40 min.
But today I let them out and they played for about 30 min and then she tried to mount him! She tried to mount his face and his butt, when she would mount his head he would take it for a few moments before thumping and running away. She kept on until he nipped at her (he didn’t bite her ) it was like he nipped at the air to warn her to quit….. Which she didn’t listen so I had to intervene.
I know she is doing this because she’s not fixed, and he can quickly out run her (because of her tilt) when he has had enough, my question is should I continue to let them have play time together? Should I stop bonding and totally separate them, like put them in other rooms? I just need some advise
This would happen the first time I try to bond rabbits!
