SO had to seperate

[Sweet Pea]

Well I have three girls and the newest pig I adopted is actually the mom to one of my 2 year olds so she is about 3-4. She is alot smaller and my sick pig who has arthritis has started picking on her soooo bad she did before but not to bad now everyday I see her trying to nipple at her ears. Well tonight I changed their cage and noticed her ears are badly chewed must have happened today while I was at work so I had to take her out and put a divider in so she can stilll see them just not get all bitten and stuff....I have read this is a dominence thing and with my other piggie getting better she could be trying to be the boss again that she can get around more. anyone ever have this problem?

It really hurts. Isn't it? I was hoping my four boars would bond as couples, in whatever combination as they please. But they bonded as a trio and a left alone adult pig. They couldn't bear seeing each other over a grid either. I had to separated them in different levels. I will get the lone boar a new friend if things don't get better in a few months.
