This seems too good to be true - it probably is. I tried bonding Tyr and Loki today for the first time since Tyr was neutered. I put them both in the bathtub at the same time. It started off with them ignoring each other and just generally exploring what little there was of the tub. After about 10-15 minutes of that, they gave each other about 5 seconds of grooming. Then the fun started. Tyr began humping Loki but I assume in a dominant way. Either that or he's not too bright. He was mounting her from the side a few times. After a few minutes of him mounting her off and on, he flopped over and Loki started grooming him. Within a minute of that, she made to mount him. Quick as a bunny, he jumped up and had his way with her. Initially, she ran but after a couple seconds she just let him go at it. I was in there about 45 minutes - an hour with them. No fights brokeout and Tyr just ripped some fur from Loki while he was mounting.
I now have them down here beside me in their playpen and Tyr is just flopped over while Loki runs around a bit. Could it be possible they bonded in an hour? I've never heard of such a thing. It's true their cages have been right beside each other ever since Tyr came home.
At this moment Tyr is chasing Loki but Loki seems to be egging him on. I'm not sure if she thinks it's a game. There doesn't appear to be any violent intent. It was probably just a bout of tag since they seem to have stopped in the time it took me to write this.
Anyways, any input is greatly appreciated. I'm reluctant to seperate them now, though. :?
