Hay guys~
Kayso. For ages now, Laurie is always trying to be the dominant boar - almost every day he will strut and rub against Fry, and try to mount him. Fry usually just gets annoyed and runs away, or blocks himself in the house so Laurie can't get in, or jumps to get him out of the way.
A few weeks ago - during the night, I heard Fry chattering his teeth because of it, but they soon settled down.
A little while ago just now, Laurie was being particularly persistant, and Fry started to chattering his teeth and Laurie kept pinning him. So I took Laurie out for a while to calm down, held him on my lap whilst he tried to eat the ribbons on my dressing gown. When he seemed calm, I put him back in the cage - but he started up again straight away, and poor Fry is not amused.
I'm not sure what to do! When I move to MK on saturday, I worry that when I get a job that Fry may have to resort to violence whilst I'm not there. Do you think this is a possibility? Aside from this, they get on fine!
My sister keeps telling me to get them neutered, but to my knowledge that's only done for sexual reasons, not for dominance in two brother boars - unlike with rats, which you get neutered early on to calm their hormones down.
Any advice?
