Hi
Just needing a little advice really. In the last 2 weeks we have finally managed to bond our neutered netherland boy with a female rabbit (this has been a miracle due to 2 other failed bondings due to him wanting to fight all the time!).
There has been no fighting, and the two seem very happy together - sleeping together, eating together etc. They have been together for just over 2 weeks. However, the only behaviour that does seem to be happening frequently is him mounting her. I know this is part of establishing who's boss...but when will it stop? Or will it ever stop? I just feel sorry for her as it can't be pleasant having him jumping on her so much!
Advice would be appreciated. I would split them up, but other than the mounting, they both seem very happy with each other! I just don't want her getting poorly with stress or anything from him pestering her!
Thanks
