Problem piggy

[*Gem*]

Hey everyone, haven't been around much lately but need some help.

Up until a few weeks ago our piggies ( both female ) were getting on great but now one of them keeps going for the other one. I had them out last night while the other half was cleaning them out and she just kept going for her sister, the poor thing was making lots of noise. Then she would be sitting quite happily then turn around any bite me for no apparent reason. It's distressing hearing the other pig when she goes for her and I do seperate them when it happens but I just don't know what to do. The other pig doesn't seem to bothered as she keeps going over to her.

Any advice as to what to do? Would getting a neutered boar help? I'd guess they're around 4-5 months old now if thats of any help

Also another thing cleo ( the bully ) does is keep pushing up under athenas mouth, its almost like shes trying to see if she's got anything in her mouth?

Cleo is sniffing the other one under her chin, the more dominant one does this. My dominant boar does it to Teddy and he just lets him. There has to be one boss pig and Cleo is stating her case, it sounds like. It may well pass and in the meantime keep an eye open for any serious biting and make sure the other piggie gets her share of food. A neutered boar may well help the situation if you have room

I would keep an eye my lot did this to pickle and it made me feel awful :'( they wouldnt really let her eat and they wouldnt let her in the bedroom so I made her a room of her own gave her her own bowl etc and she go bit of strength back and she now stands her ground usually by sitting in the food bowl and making the rest wait ;D ;D She has also become quite close to Digby my neutered male and tilly fluff takes care of her too and no one messes with moody tilly ;D keep a very close eye on them it may just be a faze and once they have sorted out who is the boss then they will be ok.
