Today I was playing With my two little friends when Harvey started getting a bit 'fruity' he soon snapped out of it though. But all of a sudden Harvey started chattering his teeth at Loki, and I quickly picked up Loki to make sure he didn't get hurt.
But when I put him down, Harvey jumped on his back, and Loki made a terrible noise so i lifted Harvey off him and went to pick Lolo up, when hd bit me.
I thought he may be in pain, so i put Harvey in his bed and let Loki calm down before checking him, when I did I found nothing and he resumed as normal.
The Harvey did it again, Loki screeched his poor little heart aout and it worried me, so again I did the same, but Loki ran straight towards Harcey and snuggled up next to him like nothing happened.... I'm confused and a bit worried.
What should I do?
 
Is Harvey hurting him?
That's what I am thinking... But I'm insure, and I love Harvey Sooo much so I don't want to assume that!

The screaming is submission screaming and not pain.

Your little one was obviously very upset and bit you in defense. Please leave your boys to sort themselves out, unless there are bloody fights with serious bites to the face, ears or rump. Mounting is very normal mild dominance behaviour; any interruptions from you will only serve to muddle up the boys. They instinctively know the script of how you sort out relationships, whereas you don't.

Thank you I'll look now :)
I was just worrying because he's so small...
 
One of my sows used to scream a lot but wiebke gave me the same advice and they soon sorted it out, hope for your sake they do it quickly but even when they do there will be the occasional nip or chin war and you get used to the noise once you realise they aren't in pain
