Hi Tina,
 
This is very natural behavior.  I wouldn't let it worry you unless there
is screaming and poop flying.  My older one's did this with a kit for
awhile.  Tried to stash him in the hidey hole.  When I would separate
them the kit would come flying back for me.
 
Regards,
Hawk & Patrick,
Salem, Faye, Bandit, Bowser and Bailey the ferts
Pyewacket the cat
and Smokey the African Grey
and introducing Azriel the grey haired, green eyed kitten.
Blessings to all animals great and small and those of us who love and
adore them.
