In short, Toby (male, neutered, 3 yrs old) and Seattle (female, spayed, 9 months old) have been meeting on neutral grounds for 2 weeks. No signs of aggression, Toby asks for head grooming, Seattle usually grooms him and all has been fine. Their dates usually last 15-30 minutes until one of them hops off and does other bunny stuff. Toby mostly heads back downstairs to his area and Seattle goes to her food bowl
So far so good. Up until 3 days ago when Toby decided to start humping her, and this has turned into a humping stand off between the both buns. Seattle tries to sit on Toby's head and hump him or vice versa. We move them away from each other when this happens, because mostly it's a head hump (and those scare me, don't want anyone being bitten). The normal humping I've allowed for a short while but break it off after a minute or so.
My question, should I interfer with them or let them figure it out? And what are the next steps? I really thought they'd figured it out with Toby being groomed all the time and then they throw me a curveball with some humping battles.
