Hi Guys,
I’ve got 2 boars that I got from a rescue back in January, I was told they thought they were between 8 months- 1 year old.
Up until now they have been great together, but the last couple of days I’ve noticed they’ve been have a couple of arguments. Teeth chattering & the odd lunge at each other, some chasing. This goes on for about 10/15 mins & then they both settle down again seem fine with each other.
Is this likely to just be a bit of teenage drama/dominance? Or should I be worried?

Thanks 😊
 
If they are settling down again then I would keep an eye on them but don’t overly worry at this stage. It’s if they were being relentless that I’d be suggesting you step in but a bit of dominance is to be expected throughout their lives. Do watch them though and ensure it doesn’t escalate
