Hi everyone, need a bit of advice, i've had bumble and bee for 4 weeks now and they've always got along fine, Bumble seemed to be the dominant one because she got to sleep on the comfy cushion etc and bee followed her everywhere. Lately though, bee seems to be annoying bumble so much, she follows her quite abit and is constantly sniffing her mouth which really seems to irritate bumble. Bumble started butting her away which i would've expected since it is obviously annoying! Bee has got bigger lately and is nearly the same size as bumble, since she has grown, bee seems to rumble at bumble (lol it rhymes) and i think she tries to mount her, they seem to irritate eachother a lot and have even started nipping at eachother (bumble nips at bee when she is trying to sniff her mouth and when she sniffs her bum and bee nips at bumble if she gets too near sometimes) i've checked them both for wounds and they're both fine so no-one has actually bitten yet but I'm worried. I think they do get on well in general, i often find them lying next to eachother asleep and when they're scared they curl up in the same pigloo but they just have these episodes of not liking eachother! They seem to be when they're a bit scared or on edge like when they've just been put back in the cage or when both want the same place to sit, it's strange. I'd like to know your opinions on what this is and at what point i should separate? I didn't think i should yet as they could still be sorting out the dominance thing or maybe one is in heat? But if either gets a wound is that when i should separate? Please help I'm a bit worried and want them to like eachother, they're sisters and are about 11 weeks old.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

P.S they seem to go mad squeeking etc if they cant find eachother, like if we're holding one and not the other, I'm confused!
