Since having had a real bad experience with bonding in the past I am now always super vigilant... so here is a scenario I noticed a lot lately.
Fluffy LOVES chasing Bunbuns around, what happens is she is laying down... as she usually does, she is extremely lazy and he's very playful. So he comes up to her from behind and nips/or licks... can't really tell.... her in the butt, then she runs off, they both run around the room like crazy a few times, then he stops, she looks back where he is, if he's not following her, she goes to him, puts her head under him, he grooms her with a lick or two, then back doing the butt thing, she runs off again, and so it goes on. It ends usually by her running into their pen and her going round the tunnel, looking out to see where he is, and when he doesn't follow her, she flops on the floor again. This is what usually happens, sometimes she does look a bit scared, but then she does keep going back to him, so maybe she's just super alert.
anyhow... today I noticed something different... a lump of her hair was pulled out. I haven't had that before with those two, so just want to be sure it's normal that this can happen when they play.
They are usually inseparable anyway, well most of the time, just like humans, they are not spending every waking hour together, but they sleep often in separate corners for a while, then I see them snuggled up after a while. guess when they had enough of being alone, who knows. And the lady who had them while the pen was build said you can tell how much in love they are, but when I see a big lump of fur I cant help but worry, so any advice is appreciated. They since have been grooming each other, eating together and all that, right now sleeping, in separate corners, but that's normal for them at this time of the day.
