Dominance: do they get along?

[Rosierum]

Over the last few days I have noticed my girls fighting more than usual. Normally they have the odd rumblestrut (usually Rum more than Rosie) but lately things have been more heated. Tonight I watched a fight over hay. Rosie spotted the new hay going in first and danced around rumbling,normally she would wheek. Then she proceeded to sit at the top of the ramp rumbling to block Rum from getting upstairs then when Rum got past her she did the same at the hay rack. This was all followed but a lot of chasing and peeing on each other. They seem to be having a lot of trouble getting along lately. They both rub there bums along the ground a lot as well
Please help.

I would keep a close eye on them for now and hope they sort out their differences. My girls sometimes have the odd fall out but are usually back to being best friends with in a day or 2. Do they teeth chatter at each other, ruffle their fur up and dance around on their back legs? This would be a sign of aggression where you should watch to make sure they didn't lunge at each other. I would just keep an eye on them for the time being.
