Rumble Strutting And Mounting

[Jax&Buddybear]

I've got two boys who are nearly 6months, buddy just constantly rumble struts while Jax is always mounting buddy.
Is the normal and will it eventually run it's course ? I'm starting to feel sorry on buddy he's constantly has Jax attached to his head poor guy!

It is very typical for this age; 6 months old is about the worst stage. Please weigh Buddy to make sure that the constant mounting is not amounting to outright bullying.

Thanks Buddy looks quite small compared to Jax but buddy weighs about 10g more, even the vet was surprised!

I have a guinea pig named Buddy as well ! And its totally normal. My boys (Oreo and Buddy) hump/mount each other to show there dominance. Also, I feel bad to for my guinea pig Oreo. I just got him last month and Buddy has been mounting Oreo constantly (also rumbling.)
