New Kit
Hello all,
We've had a buck for about 5 months and after having been told he'd be better alone, we decided to get him a companion after reading everywhere they rarely want to be on their own. He's now about 8-10 months and an average size I would say.
We've just purchased a you doe (told she was around 10 weeks) and introduced them. They seem to get on very well with both approaching the other equally/no fighting etc. After getting them out of the cage and allowing them to roam free in the house the male attempted to mate the female several times - interrupted of course!
He's been neutered for about 5 weeks, so we're not worried about babies and will spay her when she's old enough, but are worried that as a fully grown male, he may hurt the little girl. If so, should we wait until she's fully grown if she's going to be with a fully grown male or will she be fine?
Any advice would be great,
Many thanks.
Neil
