  So Bramble and Gandalf are living together full time which is wonderful! But Bramble needs to go for her usual dental op. How does this work now they’re a Bonded pair?? I know I shouldn’t separate them but if I take both along and its a new space (vet pen) will G start humping Bramble again? I wanted Bramble to have G there for comfort because the dentals are so stressful for her but I wouldn’t want the vet putting a groggy Bramble back in a recovery pen with G if he’s going to try to hump her. Whenever he humps her she just stands there or hops away, but still. Any ideas or experience??

  Hmm I wonder if you could ask the vet to put them in the same cage area but with a divider down the middle?

  I think its a bit more difficult in your case because your two are recently bonded, but we take our Bramble for his dentals on his own and have never had any issues. They go for three monthly check ups together but when Bramble goes in he goes alone. I think when Bramble comes home Ron knows he isn’t well and not to annoy him. Could you set them up next to each other for the first few hours maybe? or would that stress them more?
