I don't know what is going on. The dominant pig during floor time last night , was acting similar to their first introduction. He was rumble strutting and lunging, some teeth grinding
no fighting but was strange. his cage mate reciprocated but not as fiercely

when I went to feed them this morning the dominant pig was up in the loft and refused to come down even for food. I even tried to nudge him down the ramp but he just would not go.
I ended up putting some up in the loft for him.

I am at work but my husband has been watching them and he has yet to come down. I just don't understand, they have not been separated since being bonded.

anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?

Thank you
Sherri

There's no way of knowing. Probably the younger pig has decided to make a move for dominance, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
