here's an update:
the kitchen bonding, the male bun tries to nip the other one as always, and I don't feel there is progress
So I switch back to bath tub stress bonding:
I put them separate by a laundry basket for 20 min. first, so the male gets the stress from the bath tub. The female is not stress at the bath tub. Then I remove the basket, and do the petting of their foreheads.
They were face to face w/o incident at the 1st session, but did try to nip each other tonight. Although it isn't any aggressive nip. It's not like the kitchen bonding that they try to kill each other
It's quite tame, even including the nip, as they face each other for a while before they nip
I Put my hand to block each nip, there is no injury on my hand, so either they know it's my hand, or the nip was not meant to be hard
quick question: only the male is in stress. The female seems just mildly annoyed in the bath tub. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for bonding that the female is not stress?
