| I don't think there's a magic age when they start doing this. I don't think it would hurt her at all. It might be a little annoying, but not harmful. JMO |

| It's a sign of dominance and my little boy was humping at six weeks. males and females do it. If you don't want the behavior to continue i would suggest spraying her with water from a squirt bottle and saying no in a firm voice. She's trying to be the alpha in this situation.

| I'm ashamed to say this, as a momma to a princess, who's not supposed to do those things. But YES, females do hump. I caught Coco humping my roomates bear, and my bear My humping girl.

| Tell your cousin to just be glad she doesn't flip her over onto her back! That's what Muffin used to do with her stuffed doggie! Then she'd hop on top of it!

| My Daisy is a humper too, she started at around 13 weeks. She only likes to try to hump my arm which I do not allow but she still tries. Yesterday she tried to hump my hubby's it was so funny but he did not think so. |

| Yupper I have two females. My little one Zoe who weighs just under two lbs it forever humping my other female. It's a site since she is only half the size so I guess she more rubs than humps. I figured it is a dominance things since Zoe was the first in the household and seems to think she rules the home. |
