Hi
I have 2 sows who are about 12 weeks old and a neutered boar who is about 8 months.
They have been bonded for about 2 weeks now and all is going well. The girls have been together since they were very young (not sisters).
Over the past couple of days I have noticed that the more dominant girl (Luna) is showing some dominance behaviours towards my quieter and smaller girl (Marshmallow). It leads to very loud squeals from the smaller girl. There just seems to be a lot of chasing and “kicking out” of hides, nothing major from Luna. My boy (Comet) is super chill but he’s definitely made “best friends” with Luna as they go everywhere together.
Marshmallow is still eating and drinking fine, as I know it can be “a thing” where they resource guard. She seems OK but I just feel for her that she’s being picked on and the squeals she makes cause us a lot of worry for her.
They are in a 5x2 C&C and have 3 of everything.
Any advice? Or is this just normal? Will it settle? Is it because Luna is in season and because Comet is there she is challenging for him? TIA
