So after about almost 2 weeks break trying to intro Thunder to Rocket we tried again this morning in a neutral bathroom. We put a dust bath out and let them run around together. They played the ignoring game for about 10 min. They both climbed all over me and enjoyed their dust baths separately. Just as i was debating whether to end it on a good note or wait until they truely interacted rocket went in for a sniff of Thunders butt and then decided to taste it! big chunck of fur in rockets mouth. I freaked out... luckily thunder didnt seem hurt, just a bit scared. I ended play time. This is why i ended it last time as well. Rocket, who i assumed would be the dominant one tried to nip at thunder. Their cages are next to each other for a while now. I keep expecting behavior like Rocket trying to mount Thunder for dominance and maybe some chasing but Rocket either ignore or goes in for a nip. In people's experience is this a very bad sign? Should i keep trying? Any suggestions? Why is he nipping?
