New Born Pup
We have three boars, Wedge, Jax and Chirrut (Chi). They've been together for over 2 years and have lived with us for 5 months.
Wedge is the dominant pig, when they first arrived he and Jax had some mini spats but it calmed down and most of the time the three of them get on really well, share food, chill out together, play etc. Chi is timid and likes to stay out of the way when the other two play and is very snuggly.
Every so often though Wedge gets in a mood and all hell breaks loose. He'll chase and hump and hound Jax for hours and if he can't get to Jax he'll do it to Chi. The first few times this happened we were able to remove Wedge for a while, let him tire himself out in the playpen we have for him and then when we put him back he'd settle and all would be fine. The last couple of times there has been nothing to stop him, if you remove him he'll play in the pen or cuddle in your arms but as soon as he's put back he'll hound the other two pigs, same if we remove the other two for a while. He'll go and go until the other pigs are exhausted and today has been really scary because Jax has been climbing on top of things and up the sides of things to get away and has been really scared and usually Chi can give Wedge a swift kick and he'll get the message but he seems to be ignoring it today. Wedge wouldn't let the other two eat or drink from the bottle.
There's never any fighting, no blood drawn or anything like that. But he'll get in this mood where he seems to need to hump everyone until he passes out. I'm terrified and I don't know what to do
