New Born Pup
Hello,
I got my two boars coming up to 3 weeks ago, they were both 8 weeks when we got them. Over the last few weeks I haven't had any issues with them. I have often found them hiding together in their hay box. Over the last week I have seen Chandler rumble strut which I think aggravated Joey because he immediately chased him. My husband has seen Joey chase Chandler a couple of times.
Tonight things changed, there was a lot of teeth chattering and chasing. It is always Joey who chases Chandler. Things keep calming down and as soon as Chandler tries to approach the hay box, the teeth chattering begins again.
We have now reorganized the cage and made another hay box. I have taken away the two hides that only had one entrance and exit, and both hay boxes have two exits in them. I have been sat watching them and Chandler has taken well to the new hay box, but every so often Joey will leave his hay box and chase Chandler out of his.
My husband has read that as long as they don't fight and draw blood then they need to be left to sort things out for themselves, is this right? He also said that he is going to expand their cage so they have more space.
Could today just be a bad day? The idea of them hurting each other really upsets me. I knew that there would be falling out but I didn't expect it so soon.
