Chazziboots
New Born Pup
Hello.
I have 4 sows which I got together about 2 weeks ago.
They should be about 10 weeks old.
When I got them I had a ferplast 160cm cage which after a few days I heard some rumbles but nothing else.
I then got a c&c cage 2x6 which they were fine in at first. A week ago today we moved the cage to better spot in our home (as it is much bigger then we previously thought).
The past 3 nights we have had a lot rumbling and strutting and shaking from one of the girls. We can clearly see two girls submit to her right away (heads go down and they run away from her squeaking) she will sometimes chase them. The other female tends to ignore her and continue doing what ever she was doing.
Our more dominant girl will calmly lay down near her sisters and eat with them.
We have a lot of nose to nose contact in the air from the two smaller ones.
One has made a few attempts to clean the more dominant one too.
We heard a few seconds of chirping earlier but no idea who it came from or why.
How long does this behaviour happen for? Is there anything we can do to calm it down?
Vet says they are all healthy and female.
Thanks
