Fighting?

[TheAurora]

So the boyz are going thru a phase where they keeping jumping on each other's backs.

They've done this before but not for such a prolonged period of time - i.e... days @)

They don't hurt each other and there's no teeth snarling, just a lot of sqealing and jumping on one another.

The pig being jumped on is obviously annoyed as he kicks out.

I'm concerned it will escalate?

How old are they? Could they be going through the dreaded hormonal stage?

 

[TheAurora]

They are about two and a half?

Oh crumbs, it's not because they're teenagers then!

Mine have gone through phases when they bickered more often, mostly when something changed in their surroundings. But they usually calmed down after a couple of days. When we moved house it proved too much - they drew blood and had to be separated. Has anything changed for you?

Other than that, I don't know enough to be too helpful...hopefully someone will be along to give you some more advice soon.

good luck

They are spending more time indoors now the weather is turning colder.

Their indoor cage is smaller - maybe too small.

I give them floor time as well as much as possible, but that too is new.

Thanx

Maybe they're still getting used to the new cage, then. Hopefully they'll calm down soon!

PS. I just wanted to add that I don't think it will necessarily escalate. With ours it did, but they were never the closest of friends to begin with
