Humping Neutered Male?

[Chevalrose]

Alright...so heres a new piece to the intro-ing of my boys. Onyx is getting better around them...he almost doesn't care about Oliver. Tonight though, Romeo has started to hump Onyx! Onyx is neutered. He did it once to Tobi...but keeps going after Onyx. Could it be because Onyx is neutered? I feel bad! Onyx spins around and they just stand looking at eachother for a bit, then Onyx saunters off and it happens again. Is Romeo trying to assert dominance or is he just hormonal? Is there anything I can do about it?

It's very normal and mostly a dominance issue but it's very good that Onyx doesn't react badly to it. I'd let them work it out.

Onyx hardly is reacting to Romeo being around him now. Hopefully after this weekend we can have the separation in the cage taken away.

Dominance for sure.........I hate when they do that, it make them look like "little piggies".

LoL Maple, it totally does. I didn't know Romeo had it in him! Like I said, I feel bad for poor Onyx getting chased around. I almost don't feel bad if he nips a bit.
