Hello, I have a 2 year old neutered Dutch male (possibly x with lionhead) . He’s been neutered 6 months. Lovely nature - bold, cheeky and likes a fuss.
He was a rescue and I’ve just got him a female mate. Also a rescue. 1 year old Lop. Unspayed. Very laid back. A little bigger than my boy. Certainly chunkier. Shy and wary but tolerates being stroked.
They got along instantly. No aggression. Female very nonchalant. Male more inquisitive.
He soon tied to mount her and laid completely on top of her. She didn’t react at all.
But since then he has got worse. She’s been here 24 hours and he’s getting more frantic with the mounting. He had a short break of a few hours and they were calm with each other and it was lovely. But then he started again - and a lot worse. To the point she’s becoming distressed and running constantly with him hanging onto her back - lying fully And tightly on her - holding onto her with his teeth. If I pull him off his mouth is full of her fur. It’s really upsetting me.
They have an entire bedroom together with 2 lockable Great Dane crates. I’ve put him in his and left her free.
What can I do? He doesn’t appear to be hurting her as she’s not squeaking or anything. But I have a night shift tomorrow and am not sure how to house them overnight...
Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou x
