Is this normal?

Hi,i have two 3yr old hermanns,Phoebe and Daisy...they are both supposed to be female,but the last few days i have noticed Daisy humping phoebe quite alot.
Is this normal for females to do this? she really seems to enjoy what she's doing as the look on her face is so funny,lol

my hermans are also 3 yrs and I definately have a male and female, the female has a much shorter tail have you compared them to see if there is any difference, my male is always following the other and when he tries to mount her makes a little squeeking noise and has his mouth open, my female is also slightely smaller.

My friend and I both have Iberas and her's is almost definately female and she tries it on with my Norman, I think its just showing dominance!!

hi,i checked their tail length but i cant really tell as daisy is bigger than phoebe anyway...her tail is longer and thicker but i dont know if thats just down to her size.
when she has mounted phoebe she does have her mouth gaping wide open and looks really funny.
