Hi guys, quick query regarding Peanut and his nipping. You may know, Peanut can be a bit of a nipper. If I’m getting the hay box down or any other food, he gets excited and sometimes chases sweet little Buttercup and nips her. It’s not full speed chasing or anything like that. When he ‘catches’ her, sometimes he’ll nip her butt. Other times he’ll just sit with her and then they’ll both run over to me/food source. I suppose sometimes it’s him chasing and sometimes it’s more follow the leader. He goes through phases I guess. He can go weeks where he doesn’t really nip at all and then he’ll have a few days where he’s a bit of a menace. Buttercup doesn’t seem too bothered, she’s quite tolerant of the little rascal  Anyway, if you’ve seen my instagram I have just made them a very shabby cardboard fort. Yesterday when they were both in it, I heard their feet moving on the cardboard and then Buttercup ran out. I’m not sure if Peanut nipped her and that’s why she ran? Same thing happened just now, boyfriend told me they were both in the fort and then Buttercup ran out again. He said he’s only concerned because of what I observed yesterday. So basically, Peanut is potentially getting a bit nippy with Buttercup in the fort. 

Aside from when he’s excited for food, he’s never really nipped any other time. What should I do? I think I will take away the tunnel because it’s quite enclosed and if we remove it we can get a better look at them when they’re inside the bigger parts of the fort so we can hopefully see for sure if he’s nipping. Anything else I could/should do?
