Since the passing of my oldest bun, I have ended up getting a baby in hopes of keeping my other bun happy, since there was a bit of a way-one bond with quicksilver and midnight (he adored her, she avoided him). He definitely seemed to be depressed when he realized midnight wasn’t returning so we ended up finding a little one who melted our hearts. At first, it seemed like a match for quicksilver and the new bun, who we named bear due to his colors.

So, I want to ask tips for bonding them, as well as ask if the current behaviors are normal. Quicksilver is fixed and bear is too young to be fixed. I personally think bear is female but it’s too early to tell. They do shove their noses into each others faces. Quick silver has began chasing bear and it seems as if in a mean way as quick silver is making “pig noises” as my father describes it best. During this, bear will actually sometimes run circles around quicksilver, which makes me wonder, are they playing, or is it something else? Quick silver also seems to be trying to bite his stomach and back, and bear isn’t making any noises or running, but jumps when he does it.
