Peppy is showing dominant behavior

[shinyhunter101]

My guinea pig Peppy squabbles often with Coco, though I can't figure out why.
If Coco gets to close to Peppy and nudges her/touches her, Peppy will flip and spray urine at her. Her hair also stands on end and it looks like she is rumblestrutting and being all aggressive. I have two videos of it, just click the link. If you look close, you may see Peppy stick out her bum to spray urine. You may also see her hair stand up a bit.

They have been doing this for a while. The fighting has not been serious but they do it very often and I'm concerned.

The wierd thing is, Coco is not being aggressive to Peppy. Peppy just does it when ever Coco gets too close. Poor Coco...

Note: Be sure to raise the volume when you watch the video. Sorry about all that background noise, it's coming from our television set.

My sow Rocket used to do this loads with the other sows in the herd. She seems to have grown out of it a bit more now. How old are your piggies? Remember sows can show more of these kind of behaviours when they are in season. My girls will nearly always rumblestrutt when in season. And all the other pigs get quite annoyed lol. Looks like normal behaviour in the video, nothing to worry about.
