This is quite long so please bare with me...

Ok so i have 2 boars who are around 4/5 years old they have lived together all their life but have never shared very well,
so they have 2 of everything ie food bowls, water and beds.

Now recently ginge has been bullying bill reallly bad ie if he hears bill go into a house he
runs over and chases him away same with the water and food bowls and they both seem to be really on edge with each other.

So i seperated them with some mesh and clear plastic acrylic stuff,
but when ginge saw bill go towards his food and water bowl or house he would run at the see through plastic teeth and all.

so basically should i seperate them completely ie so they cant see each other, they seem to be on edge all the time and bill seems very scared of ginge,
i know they are herd animals but would they be better on their own?
 
No nothing has changed recently they have been where they are for about a year. And when it started i got them checked at the vets as i thought it could be an illness that was causing it but they are both fine.
Like i said they have never really liked sharing with each other and i have never seen them sat or lay next to each other it seems like their relationship has always been a bit strained but it has deteriorated massively now :(
 
I know it is a shame I'm moving them indoors later so will see if they settle in and are less edgy when they cant see each other.
I think that they were like they were because when i got them they were in a 30 x 19 inch cage! mallethead
