Well I've had my two girls about 5 days. They are housed in a big homemade cage. Plenty of hiding areas. Seems like one is dominant over the other. Is it normal for one to be bossy over the other?

That cage isn't large enough for one pig, much less two. You'll not only have bullying, but you may wind up with actual injuries.

Two pigs need a minimum of eight square feet, and bigger is better. Much bigger is much better.

Its all temporary. New cage will be finished in a few days.
