They tolerate each other in the same area.. without fighting. Sometimes they might just ignore each other but the lovliest bond to see is when they snuggle up together and groom each other :D
my girls are properly bonded, but just now you wouldn't have thought so - any sign of food (and by association, me) and it's every bunny for herself :roll: rest of the time they are best mates!

Ahhh, well they've been grooming each other Tomee grooms Bea more though. And the always lie snuggled up together and definately steal each others food straight from the mouth. :lol:
The only thing that's abit hmmm, is Tomee is still mounting her, I thought that would of stopped by now?
They've been in the 'bonding area' for 5 days now.

Well I don't feel so abnormal now that your bunny's still humping too.
It's such a shame though cos she just can't be bothered with it. If I'm in there doing something she'll hide behind me if he's buzzing at her. Half the time it can't even do it the right way round, men! :roll:

Hi
You could put something in their for her to hide in if she sometimes needs a break from his advances.
Maybe something like those coloured tubes so she can fit in but he can't.
I'm still amazed that my Jack doesn't mount Millie, he was a breeding buck but Millie put her foot down after the first few bonding sessions and he hasn't done it since.
My last boy bunny mounted his girlfriend for years.

he might just be doing it for your benifit.... dunno why but when left alone (i do sneaky spy quite often) these pair are just lying together, its when im in the equation alvin goes humping mad.... maybe they tellin us the sexy gal bun is thiers?? lol
my girls usually hump when I appear as a sign of dominance cos they think I have food - it's only Primrose that does it - she just flies at her sisters and starts humping them as soon as I appear :roll:
Usually I stop it by putting a boot (wearing wellies has it's advantages! :)) in front of her, or moving the chair (in my sig) so she knows I have no food (and goes into a major sulk :lol:) - but it does help if they have boxes to hide behind - usually they have 2 big cardboard boxes in the shed, plus 2 big litter trays, and the girl being humped just runs behind something or jumps into something, and it's all over - so long as it's not a dead-end, which might cause fighting.

I went in Hera and Ra's shed earlier and Ra was lying down full stretch, and Hera was grooming him - they both looked at me when I entered as if to say "yes..what do you want?" - felt a bit like I'd intruded on an intimate moment:oops::oops::lol:

Floss and Bournville have been bonded for almost 2 years and they still hump each other from time to time. It's usually Floss who is the culprit, but occassionally Bourville chances his arm!! I don't interfere as it's a natural rabbitty thing, and the Humpee just lets the humper get on with it!:lol:
