We just introduced the two to eachother two days ago, and we did it slowly; and everything seemed to go just fine, they actually seem to really like eachother. The bigger one was the new one to the cage, and he does the head bobbing to show dominance...sometimes after he does this, the little one, also a male, will run up and bite the big one's beard. At first it seemed like maybe it was play biting or love biting, because other than this, they don't have any problems together. The little one often lays on the bigger one's back and seems to show a lot of affection. This happened once (multiple bites in one "sitting") on the first day they were together, and then it happened once more (just one bite) just now (two days later). Those are the only times this has happened, and it always happens after the bigger one does the head bobbing. So should I be worried about the biting, and what does this mean??
