I haven't posted here in a while. You guys don't even know that I got another pig this summer. Introductions went great. And yes, I did upgrade to a 2x4 c and c cage before getting Edison.
Anyways, things were great for a while. Jameson clearly wanted to be the dominant pig and Edison was okay with that. He never really fought him about. The most he ever did was chatter his teeth a bit, but Jameson wouldn't let up. I thought that maybe things could have gotten better with time since Jameson is so young, but now Edison chatters teeth any time Jameson is near him and runs away whenever Jameson approaches (even if he isn’t coming after him).
I guess what I need help with is my Jameson’s aggressive attitude. I have read that neutering him will not help, but is this true? Should I just separate the two boys or are there other things that I can do first? I would really hate to have to separate them.
Jameson’s aggression is not only towards Edison, but also towards people. He definitely likes to nip at you if you pet him the "wrong way".
I already have two food dishes, water bottles, and hidey huts that are on opposite sides of the cage.
Here is the link to a video I took of Jameson getting aggressive over one of the food dishes. This is probably one of his worse attacks on Edison. Edison frequently takes refuge in the hay bin.
