I'm back, asking another question =). So I'm trying to bond Millie and Cheeto and it's going okay---I think. I've been trying other neutral areas and Cheeto has stopped freezing, Millie is still the same.
My new problem is nipping. Cheeto will bow his head down to ask Millie to groom him and Millie will nip him. It never turns into a fight; I've never had to separate them. She doesn't seem all that aggressive but she nips him every time without fail. Cheeto reacts with his typical scared/frozen-ness. But then after a few seconds they'll carry on. They will lay next to each other (not side by side, but facing each other if that makes sense). She has also groomed his body, but will not groom his head, only nip!
Is this good or bad? Does it mean that she wants to be the dominate one too?
