I've notice a pattern forming with one of my girls Ginny. She's been displaying dominance behaviour, rumble strutting and mounting. I took her out for lap time to give her poor sister Luna a rest from all the humping! Ginny squeaked her head off and just wouldn't settle down.
Now a couple of weeks later, same thing. She usually settles well at lap time, even lying down, but tonight you'd of thought I was killing her!
I tried getting her sister Luna out with her, but then neither of them would settle.
I'm guessing it's because Ginny is on heat again. Has anyone else experienced a Piggie who won't settle when they are on heat?
They are only about 13 weeks old, so I'm hoping she grows out of it!

Yes, that is not uncommon. Please respect it and leave her be - her body is not feeling at its most comfortable with a cocktail of hormones coursing through it! After all, it is just for about a day every two weeks or so.
