My neutered buck Flopsy has a new companion. We sadly lost his old companion Willow recently His new mate is Millie, she is a 2 year old breeders ex show stock black Rex doe. She is lovely, very good to handle and in very good condition.
The bonding process began in the usual way on neutral territory. It took alot longer than with Willow, she was VERY dominating over him and was humping HIM all the time. After several days, this died down, but now after 2 weeks together, she still humps him every now and again and I feel that Flopsy is really dominated by her. She often lays cross ways on him, putting her feet on his back and pinning him down. They do groom each other and have really settled down, but she often nudges him under his bum to move him and she tries to hump him.
Because she was a breeding stock show doe, she was only introduced to bucks for mating. She has had 2 previous litters. I was wondering whether having her spayed might calm her down. Willow was already spayed when we got her, she was a rescue bun. Flopsy did all the chasing with her.
I don't know what to do for the best. Should I leave them? I don't want Flopsy to have a hard life, but on the other hand, I don't want to risk Millie having an invasive, dangerous operation, hoping that it might help the situation...
