I have a bonded pair of males, one dominant and one a chickenshit.

My girlfriend has seen on Iamnotahampster 's Instagram page that one of her pigs has a ball that is his "special friend." He mounts it.


I was wondering if there is a way to encourage my dominant pig to use one of his toys as his "special friend" so that he will stop harassing his brother.

Nope. Sorry. You can put some stuffed animals in the cage (make sure there are no button eyes/noses that can be chewed off), but it's up to the pig as to whether he avails himself of them or not.

You can put some fleece forests in the cage so they're not always in each other's line of sight. Maybe 'out of sight, out of mind" can be their new motto.

How old are the pigs?
