I'm currently working on bonding two males (both fixed). The one just got neutered last week and is healing so I know he'll need at least another week or two to heal and some time for the hormones to die down. But I want to know if the signs are good or what more I need to do.
Right now they're in pens side by side with clear visibility of each other. Right now even prior to the neutering:
Lay side by side.
lick at each other
during each individual time out, they constantly come to check on the other.
and when the one went to the vet and was gone all day the other sulked till he returned.
or they happily ignore each other till they decide they want the other's company.
when they are together without the bars they circle and try to hump each other and each will accept the mount (I give each a few seconds before making them back off). but no grunting or anything I would say is aggressive.
