So for the last month I've been trying to introduce Chico and booboo . (Both girls) switching cages puting them next to eachother. well last night I put them in the same cage and Chico kept trying to hump boo boo. Boo boo didnt fight back just ran away. I quickly took boo boo out of the cage. Is that normal ? should I not try again? Is Chico to domiant to put booboo in the same cage?
 
That's normal. They will hump each other to establish dominance. As long as they aren't being aggressive, I'd give it another shot.
 
Yup what Becky said, just a sign of dominance, I have seen m boy chins do it, and also my two pits do it even though they are both fixed.
 
Good luck! If she's more laid back chances are she will be the one getting humped, but you never know. Hopefully they can get along for you :) On a side note, be happy they are girls, with boys the dominance humping can get pretty messy!
