New Born Pup
Hello,
I have two boars names Joey and Chandler. It is pretty clear that Chandler is the dominant piggie. He humps Joey and chases him a lot. Over the last few days I have noticed that Chandler is eating all the veg and if Joey comes to have some he either chases him away from it or steals it out of his mouth. Today I found him preventing Joey eating the hay.
Joey is very sweet as he lets me hold him he comes to me when I bring food and he eats from my hand.
Chandler is the complete opposite, we are unable to handle him because he has bitten both my husband and son and every time we have gone to pick him up he just immediately goes to bite us. I am only able to get him out of the cage by having him get into a hide and then carrying him out of the cage in the hide.
The problem I have is I am pretty sure Joey has running lice and I therefore want to wash them both, but I feel it's going to be impossible with Chandler. We have had them both for over a month now, and I am becoming increasingly anxious about cutting his nails etc. Although we are unable to handle him he seems to be really thriving, he was the smaller one of the two and now he is bigger than Joey, but I haven't been able to weigh him. I feel at an absolute loss, because we obviously need to be able to handle him to check him over. Any help or advice would be much appreciated, thank you.
