hello,My piggys Ella and Gabby have a few interesting habits I was wonder if they mean any thing. They seem to play running follow the leader, and by running I mean really fast around the cage leaping and jumping over their food salad dish.
Benny and Billy do this all the time and I'm sure there's an element of dominance going on here. The pattern tends to be Bobby will be sitting there eating a pile of hay and Benny comes up to him, rumbling, nose rearing and doing that thing with his back end. Seconds later, over runs Billy, who chases Benny really fast several times around the cage.
At first I thought it was bullying but this is not the case because Benny and Billy will then both popcorn, go to the hay pile and eat together before Bobby returns, pokes Billy in the butt with his nose, Billy runs away followed by Bobby, Bobby popcorns, then Billy and Bobby will both sit eating hay together. Then Benny rumble struts at Bobby and the whole process begins again. It's almost like Billy is being Bobby's minder or something - it's really strange and amusing to watch!
