Hi, wondering if anyone had any advice for stopping our boys fighting. We rescued them about 4 months ago and were told they were around 9 months old and we’re litter mates. Once they were comfortable and settled we noticed a lot of chattering and rumble strutting but figured this was because of their age and asserting dominance in the new space. Things calmed down for a few months but recently things have fires up a notch as our previously submission pig has had a growth spurt and is now starting to act more dominant. We’re now at the point where blood has been drawn on 2 occasions in the last month with the now smaller pig having bite marks on his back and side. Any advice would be much appreciated as we’re not sure whether we should separate them or leave them to it and hope it calms down? Key things you might want to know:
- we have a 2x4 c&c cage with a 1x2 loft
- all houses and hideous have at least 2 entry points
- we use fleece; spot clean twice daily and deep clean every 4-5 days
- we always put food in 2 piles/bowls and try to make sure we give each pig equal attention
thanks in advance!
