  Are they neutered? If so, then humping is a normal part of the bonding process. They are just trying to establish dominance. As long as there is no fighting or distress, then it is usually best just to let them work things out on their own.

  Yup they’re neutered but when the little one humps the big one, the big one starts nipping

  If he is getting irritated, you can let the other one hump for a few seconds and then redirect him to a stuffed animal. Sometimes that helps.
