Hi! I've been bonding my buns (male lop and female Netherlands) for a few months now.
I started with them living next to each other, then neutral territory, switched toys and litter ect. They got on great straight away and have never fought. At most they get into tiny headbutt competitions for pets but always come to a quick decision and swap shortly after.
I would feel like they're done bonding except they have never humped. The boy has tried a few times (going for the head at first which I corrected) but the girl just hops away. She has never tried to mount him.
He doesn't get aggressive. Sometimes he chased her a foot or two but then gives up.
I'd be fine leaving them alone if neither buried to mount, but with 1 obviously wanting it and never getting to I'm worried it will eventually lead to a fight.
Anyone know what I can do? They've been spayed and neutered a while so I don't think hormones are an issue.
The boy has started to groom her head then slowly move behind and try to hump but she still wiggles away.
He has also tried to mount her head a few times which is part of why I don't feel ok leaving them alone since she doesn't move away from it??
Sorry for all the text, thanks for any help!
