Hello i have two males that I recently introduced to each other one is 13months (Taro mosaic) the other is 10moths (Bon Bon Homo Beige), the older chin was the resident chinchilla well its taken almost a month for them to get used to sach other (side by side cages and out of cage play times together) they are together in the double unit CN. They are not violent to each other but the problem im having is that the older resident chins (Taro) is always trying to mount the youngest (Bon Bon) its on and off but they still sit next to each other on ledges and stuff but noticed during the day they both sleep separate someone told me that's not good bc that means they don't trust each other? I see them take naps together but the longest sleep they get during the day they sleep separate maybe is bc Taro always tries to hump Bon Bon after grooming him. They are always grooming each other Bon Bon attempts to mount Taro but he is never too successful. There is no fur slip just some chasing and then Taro stops after Bon Bon runs away and then leaves him alone until they groom each other and so on. Yesterday night, during play time I noticed Taro kept on mounting Bon Bon every chance he got he would get on top of him and then jump right off of him! It would be super quick but man! even i was getting annoyed for Bon Bon! I read sometimes trimming whiskers work? Im planning to close the divider of the CN during the night so they get a break from each other when they are most active, since they sleep separate during their longest nap of the day anyway. I see they do nap together furing the day time but for shorts amounts of time like they seem to be more comfortable dleeping spearate but dont mind some short naps together. They both sleep separate on their favorite spots on the cage one on the top unit and one on bottom unit. I guess for now i might keep them separated (close the connection for both levels sonthey each stay in their own unit) during the night for a few nights to give Bon Bon a break. but idk if that would deter Taro from mounting Bon Bon so much in the long run also, will this ruin their bond? I thought ut was notmal since they at establishing a peking order but maybe its too much mounting? Its not every second of the day but still. Anyway sorry for making this long please if you guys have any ideas or advice help me!
