Hi I hope someone is there? I'm having terrible trouble this evening. I've been having trouble with my trio of boars who have been fighting for a while now it was nothing serious until tonight when they really started going for each other and actually drawing blood!

I've had to remove the worst offender and put him in the carrier until tomorrow when i can get a separate cage!

the other 2 have now calmed down but one of them is laying down on top of the igloo making a really strange chirping sound a bit like a bird i've never heard anything like it he sounds like a canary!

Its sounds like his a bit out of breath but stops when i go in there! could he be missing his cage mate or is there something wrong?
 
What you are hearing is the piggy "song" A hauntingly beautiful noise (i think), some say piggies who make this noise are stressed, others say they are happy.
It's nothing to worry about, you are honoured to have heard it :)
 
The canary sound is sometimes thought to be a stress thing
it could be he is missing his friend a sort of pineing for him
maybe if he wasn't the one being bitten putting them together otherwise leave and check in the morning
 
thanks guys i'm not sure about him missing his friend because he was the one that was getting the worst of the bullying he spent most of the evening being mounted and bit at although they are brothers and they have never been apart!
 
You may have to temporarily separate them, but keep a water spray bottle on hand when you reunite them so you can give them a little spritz of discipline when they act up again.
 
i think i've got it sorted now i've the bullying 1 in another cage right next to the 1 i took him out of so now they can still see each other but cant get to each other!
they are still arguing like mad teeth chattering and rumble strutting at each other but in some way they seem so much happier! thank you everyone for your help i don't know what i would of done without you last night! :smitten: :smitten:
 
I think you've done the right thing :) Sometimes boars do fight unfortunately
