How long does it last?

Fang is at that stage ( he's 7 months) and he's really terrorising Frank.
Frank isn't standing for it and has a go back.
It's not turned into real fighting yet, there's only been once I have had to throw a towel over Fang because he just wouldn't having ago at Frank so I put them in seperate cage tops out on the grass for half hour untill he calmed down.
There's only been a couple times I caught Fang having a go at Frank but I just dont want it to turn into aggression & having to seperate them :...

How long does this phase last?
 
Sadly, the hormones sound as thought they are kicking in and unless they are fighting, should be left (supervised of course) to sort it out.
If you keep separating them to diffuse the problem, it is just undoing it all for it to start again.
I know how hard it is, two of my girls had a full blown fight during a 'bonding' session which failed as they both wanted 'top piggy' title so had to split and find our new girl new friends to live with. I felt physically sick and shook from head to toe but knew it was not going to work and split them before they drew blood 8...
If both are vying for top pig and one is not submissive, you may have to separate and find them each another buddy...hope this is not the case but they have to work things out.
I would try them together once again but be prepared with a towel and to keep them apart.
Hope someone else can offer better advice as I have never had boys fight...only the diva ladies :{
 
They are still together, I wouldnt seperate them unless there was injury.

Fang usually backs down after he's had a go because Frank isn't standing or it so Fang runs away but a few minuets later he will come back for another go.

Thankfully there's been no injuries yet
