(Update from my old thread 1 to 2)

Mo and Steve have been together just over two weeks now and I'm happy to say they still seem okay together. There is the rare occasion where Mo will mount him quite a bit but that is extremely rare now and I usually wake up with Steve wheeking over nothing- drama queen.:lol!:

Already Steve is getting big and growing into his ears. He doesn't seem to be very much tamer but is now sniffing me and takes food from my hand- he also knows how to demand. If he hears a rattle he wants food. Hehe! He did have an adventure at the weekend where both boys were on the grass. When I went to lift him up and put him back inside he jumped over my hand and hid behind the rabbit hutch. Spent about 20 minutes getting him out.

(Mo is now trusted enough to free roam the lawn! :) like my old piggy Vinnie used to do)

They had watermelon tonight along with cucumber and basil.

Steve has had floor time also and popcorned around the whole time with Mo. I did get a video but quality not the best. As I type this Mo is munching hay and Steve is doing popcorning laps around the tube...mad piggy.

Ps- for those of you who have instgram and love Mo and Steve I post pictures of them on an account called: mo_steve_delightful.duo

oh my it took forever to get that! I was trying to get a picture of Steve's red beard but he moves all the time. I think he knows.
 
@Wiebke so Steve has started mounting Mo now and it's like the roles have reversed...Mo isn't too aggressive about it but Steve...I don't know how to put it. He just literally jumps on Mo- who has actually kicked him on the head when he tried to get on him. No biting or blood so I'm leaving them but yeah- is this bad? 0

Steve must be what...nine/ten weeks old. He was five/six weeks when I got him. I suspected it was that - thank you. I won't separate it's not as bad as when Mo did it to him- I like to think he's taking his revenge lol. And as I said sometimes Mo doesn't react and just let's him and other times Mo gets annoyed and will nip him etc. Again thank you- I'm sorry to be a pain with all these questions!

Baby boys can turn tables at the end of the dominance phase when bonding (that is after around two weeks). As long as Mo tolerates his antics and doesn't fight, just leave them be.
