My two yong boys are just hitting teenage years and are being a bit aggressive, I got them both out for lap time this evening and they say near eatch other making a deep unhappy growling sound ? Shortly after the more domint pig bit his brother, I snorted them but they caught my hand, they seemed very agiitated. There not getting along this evening sleeping at different ends of their cage :(

Should I handle them one at a time ? More dominant first ?
 
Out of my first pair (sows in my case) the dominant pig was very dominant and did not like sharing the humans! At all! So I got used to handling pigs individually then and just stuck with it, even though my current pigs are more mellow. It's kind of nice to have one-on-one time with them anyhow. I also find that they settle better on their own... whereas they will walk around after each other when they are both out together, they will flop and even doze sometimes if we hold them individually. I would probably hold them individually for now if it's prompting a fight. Some pigs are jealous!
