Hi again,
I been having some issues with the pigs fighting. Harriet and Charlotte fight the most. 2 or 3 times a week they will be chasing each other around and teeth chattering very loudly. No blood has ever been drawn. At the worst one of them will loose a small tuft of fur. And this morning Sylvia mounted Charlotte 3 times! idk why they're doing this or how to stop it! Any advice appreciated! Thank you!
 
It could be related to their age or one of the girls coming into season.
Younger or teenage piggies can have quite strong seasons which can upset the balance in the cage for 24 hours.
Or if they are both teenagers and the same age they may be 'discussing' who is going to be top piggy.

Keep a close eye on their weights as this can often be the first sign that one piggy is being bullied.
And also be prepared with a plan b in case they end up falling our permanently.
