Hello,
I have 2 boars, one 3 and one 2. We have recently moved home a month ago and they are in a new environment and a new slightly smaller cage (they were in a 3 X 4 c&c but now on a 2 X 4, I know it's minimum but it's temporary until I can build them a custom size).
Anyway, today I have noticed for the first time that the 3 year old is mounting the other one. I know that this is normal when first meeting however they have lived together for 2 years and have never done this, and I'm concerned about the new new behaviour.
My concern mainly comes from the fact that when the 3 year old was around 6 months old, he had to be separated from his previous house mates for biting one of them. (This was because they were 3 boars in a cage which was wrongly recommend by pets at home).
Before our moving the cage was used as a temp boarding cage when going away so they are not un-used to the size.
Should I be concerned about this new behaviour? Should I look at upgrading the cage size sooner rather than later?
Thanks
