        Hi,
        I have two uneutred sibling brothers, Luna & Dacie they’ve just turned 5 months old, Luna is far more dominant than Dacie & is always chasing & trying to mount him it’s getting to the point Dacie is getting really fed up of been chased & mounted all the time, I know they need to be neutered as soon as possible, I had to split them up last night as Luna wouldn’t leave Dacie alone, when they have had the op will it be ok to re introduce them as they are very close.
        Any info would be greatly received.
        Thanks xxx

          They should be kept separated at all times now. After their neuter you should prebond for 1-2 months by switching items in their cages and even switching them between cages. After this you can begin the bonding process in a smallish neutral area. But you really need to wait the 1-2 months so that their hormones have time to dissipate.

            Thank you Asriel for your reply, I’ll separate them from now on then, Luna gets very stressed been apart from his brother but it’s something he’ll have to get used to but it’s not goin to be forever XX
