My male piggie Jake has recently started mounting my other male Charlie, loads! Is this a dominance thing? As I would definitely say that Charlie has been the dominant of the two since we've had them, is Jake now trying to take the title?!
 
Hi! Mounting is a very common thing between boars. it can go both ways, especially when your boys are hitting the teenage testosterone overload. Some boar pairs use mutual mounting several times a day just as a "here I am, mate" while with others it is more dominance centered.
Here is a list of dominance and submission behaviours: Dominance Behaviours In Guinea Pigs
if your boys are in the teenage months, this thread here will also help you to understand and judge what is going on: Boars: Bullying, Fighting, Fall-outs And What Next?
