I have two boars around 13 & 16 months old, the 16 month old one has always been a bit hump happy however today he's really being relentless with it and won't leave Snow alone, Snow has even chattered his teeth at him. He's chasing the poor little thing all over the cage, I know this is normal but Snow is getting very stressed out.

I had the same problem with Big E and Sheamus, but I eventually worked out after Sheamus passed away that Big's would do it when Sheamus was ill.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Update - while Storm is running around trying to hump Snow, he's chattering his teeth and Snow is hiding in the hay bag :doh:
 
Never mind.. I THINK Snow has sussed it.. he started rumble strutting which seemed to put Storm off a bit? We'll just keep an eye on them, we can always divide the cage if Snow gets too stressed.
 
I just went in to check on them, Snow was sat on the logs but got off and Storm hasn't chased him yet lol... Maybe he knows Snow's getting annoyed.

Yeah hopefully. It's always worrying when a dominance issue flares up.
 
Yeap, I'm slightly paranoid with the himi's falling out, so I'm like :yikes: not them as well, plus the older boars are at but not in such an aggressive way. The girls have been arguing as well... It seems Khaleesi like to rub the other two up the wrong way :/ She's a bit of a bully that one.
