Is this rumble strutting?
I have two boars, Fish and Pierre. They are about 5 months old, in a 2x5 C&C cage. (It was 2x6 until yesterday, when I had to move them into my new apartment I made it a tad smaller...but this also happened in the 2x6.)
Pierre was originally the dominant piggy, and I think still is. But sometimes when Pierre gets too close to Fish, and wants him to move out of the way, Fish will make a deep purring sound, while his stance wobbles back and forth, like he's trying to show off how macho he is.
So I'm thinking it must be rumble strutting. How bad is it that they are doing that? I mean, should I be worried that they're unhappy together?

Yup, that's rumblestrutting. It's not a bad thing though. My pigs do it all the time, sometimes simultaneously. They're just showing how macho they are. If that's the extent of their actions, then they're just fine.

My Thor does that to Jojo all the time if he's in the way on the ramp or in front of the house or anything. They're still best buds

Definitely rumblestrutting. Even girls do it occasionally. Amy rumbles all the time, but she adds the butt dance when she's in heat.

I catch my girls doing it occasionally, thankfully it's not a bad thing.
