So about 2 months ago, we got our first piggies (all boars) -Sugar, Spice, and Mango (we got them in that order, introducing them one at a time). Sugar quickly dominated Spice (who easily submitted). When Mango arrived, he quickly made his way to second place, as Spice submitted after only a couple of weeks. However, even though Spice submitted, Mango continues the behavior. Instead of the usual mounting, he regularly humps Spice, sometimes in the face. And I mean... imagine a dog humping your leg full force going at it. Until Spice runs and tries to physically distance himself.
We noticed there was something off when the largest, and most dominant piglet, Sugar, began hiding his butt from Mango and not letting him get behind him or groom him. At first, we thought it was kind of funny, so we nicknamed Mango the booty bandit for how often he attempted to hump or grooming (we think) the others butts. But then we noticed a bald spot on Spices butt cheek and what looks like ruffled hair on his back half, with some of his white undercoating come through. Although we haven't witnessed any nipping or fighting, the full force rapid fire humping alerted us. We have seen them do the normal mounting, but this behavior appeared sexually aggressive, and has caused the other guinea pigs to behave cautiously around Mango.
And please, have mercy with your responses. I know what I'm insinuating is probably dumb, and humanizing pig behavior, but I just watched Mango hump Spice so hard, I had to wonder if he finished, and I need to know what I'm dealing with here.
