We rescued two boy piggies about four months ago.
Generally they were fine until about a week ago where one of them (Troy) now is always rumble strutting and chasing the other (Atlas). He then mounts his head and potentially starts chewing his ears, although it’s hard to tell because Atlas ears were already chewed up from his mother when we rescued him.
There’s been no blood drawn as far as we can tell, but Atlas always squeaks and tries to run away, or lunges and they try to/pretend to bite each other.
They are both still eating and drinking normally.
Do they need separating? Is there anything further we can do to manage the behaviour? Is this normal for boys? Any advice appreciated!
