popcorning when dominating

[kimberlie]

My 5 month old fudge currently lives with my 8 week old snickers, they get on fine, and fudge does the usual male dominance thing with snicker though nothing aggresive.

Fudge seems to like to popcorn when hes doing this dominance thing, especially when hes chasing snickers around. Snickers sometimes joins in too!

What does this mean anyone know? Its really funny to watch. Fudge is popcorn crazy! :<>

Silver and Bella do this too... Silver will rumble over to the food bowl and eat a bit, while rumbling, and then after Bella has moved she will just ping off its like shes winding herself up to go or something... unfortunately i dunno why they do it either, just wanted to say that mine do it too

Sorry to go all obvious,but i think its just part of their behavior.

Our Oliver as been doing some strange thing's of late though,he's become dominant male,and he flattens his body to the floor, and does this,wiggle with his backside,he seem's to be in a trance as well.

Also when he mounts he get's excited and start's popcorning.

When i bring them all out for a run around they flip onto their backs,and all sorts,looks like they are breakdancing.

That would be awkward mounting and popcorning
When I first introduced Patch my neutered boar to the girllie herd he never got chance to mount either of them and they were out for 6 1/2 hours!rolleyesrolleyes
Pinky the older sow mounted the younger sow (Patch's sister) more than he did!
I think the popcorning is normall as Patch did a few leaps while he was out and he looked so funny bouncing around

You have a very well settled, happy pair. Fudge obviously loves to have a companion to play with!

 

[austin and bandit!]

my bandit does that! he nudges austin then runs round popcorning all over the place and doing laps of the floor! nudges again and off he goes to do another lap! so funny to watch! Austin used just sit there and look annoyed but recently when bandit comes up and nudges him he will playfully chase bandit and popcorn a bit if he can lift his porky belly off the ground!

Well thats good to hear. They do seem very happy together, an i am especially glad that it has worked out since fudge was getting bullied with others originally!
