Post bonding advice

Last weekend I bonded my 14 wk old giant Melanie with my 10 mth old lionhead Prince. It's so funny because he's my smallest (1.5kg) and she's my largest (2.6 kg and counting). There was no fighting. There was a bit of mounting but that seemed to calm down by the evening so I put them to bed together.

A week on we have some mounting by both rabbits. Neither seems particularly perturbed by it.

Are they already bonded or will they not be bonded properly until they've worked out who's boss?

I'm a little worried because they don't seem particularly close yet. No fighting at all though.
 
Mounting will happen between firmly bonded pairs just as a reminder about who's boss. Floss mounts Bournville from time to time and he just continues doing whatever he was doing:lol: I swear he'd:lol: roll his eyes if he could!
