Hello. I would just like to inquire about the meaning of Peanut aggressively chewing, pulling, and biting the bars when Pumpkin comes close. He proceeds to do the same thing even after Pumpkin leaves for a little while. What is this?
 
It may help if we have a bit more context as to their situation, which one was the dominant when they were together etc, but If they are separated because they do not get on, then his bar chewing may be for unfriendly reasons.
 
None of the two were dominant so they split up due to constant aggression and two blood drawing fights.
 
It may be he just wants to get at the other piggy. How is Pumpkin behaving? It sounds like neither wanted to be the underpig.
 
:agr:
Fights don’t generally occur because neither of them want to be dominant, they occur when both want to be dominant and neither of them are prepared to back down and one be submissive.
 
Yeah that’s what I meant sorry. Pumpkin is acting pretty normal. Maybe a little more lethargic than usual but nothing else out of the ordinary.
