Hi! This might be a little long but I'm worried about my boars
So I have two boars, a black one around 2.5 years old (Loki) and a long haired white one (Thor) around 1.5 years old. They've been bonded together for a little less than year and a half now, living together with minor squabbles here and there, never drawing blood or getting past a little bit of teeth chattering. Loki has always been the dominant one, though Thor likes to instigate little arguments here and there. They have plenty of floor room, at least two hides, two water bottles, etc.I do occasionally move, but the boars handle it considerably well and never act like this when we do move.
However today, Thor suddenly seemed to start bothering Loki incessantly, chasing him, mounting him and rumble strutting significantly more than usual. Loki seems to just accept it for the most part, making high pitched squeaks if Thor is really pushing it, which is unusual because Loki is usually a quiet boar. But Thor doesn't let up and continues to chase Loki and get in his face and mount him, even when Loki tries to run away. I've never seen Thor act like this before, nor have I seen Loki not stand up for himself. There's luckily been no blood or any teeth being shown, but Thor will not stop.
I have been reading some of the boar info posts on here and decided to split them up by some C&C panel so they can still see and smell each other. Loki hides in a hide while Thor paces by the division, rumble strutting and chewing on the bars like a mad man trying to get to Loki. After about an hour, it seems like Thor is still biting at the cage between them. For my own sanity, I will be keeping them separated for the night so I can get some sleep without having to watch them. I'm not sure what to do and would love any advice anyone would have ! Thank you !
