Hello all!
I am new to the forum, and I am also hoping someone out there has the knowledge I'm looking for. My son and his GF have 2 male piggies. One is over 3 years old and they have had him about 2 years. They just got another male piggy about 3 weeks ago that is about a year old, I believe. This one is going through puberty, so whatever age that happens for them, as I am far from knowledgable about them. When they first introduced them, they didn't argue, they just tried to hump each other. That lasted a couple days, then, they became fast buddies and shared a normal sized cage. They were truly best buds. The kids did get a bigger cage so they could have plenty of room to roam and run around.
They bring them (the piggies) with them on weekends when the come home from college to visit. At college, they share a very large cage. When they visit here, they use the cage they were first introduced to each other in. This morning, they started fighting with each other. Jumping and kind of biting at one another. Is this caused by the puberty change in the one, or do you think it's the cage size? Or.....????? Will they go back to normal, or will there be a problem from now on? I hope someone out there can shed some light on this new problem. They are so sweet and cute, and we just love when they come visit (grandma and grandpa)!!! LOL. Thank you so much! I didn't mean to get so lengthy on the post, sorry!
