So a bright side of coming down with covid has been that I am able to watch the piggies all day! It has taken them since Saturday to feel a wee bit more confident and they are beginning to move about a bit. I imagine that as a result of this they are now starting to - I don’t know - notice each other. So today they have spent a fair bit of their time giving off to each other and there has been a bit of bum wiggling, low ‘machine gun’ type noises and some wheeking. This article by @Wiebke I think has helped me make sense of it all and I’ve just watched and left them to it. No biting or anything serious - just like two wee old ladies narking at each other! Am I right in saying that this is part of their settling in process? Here they are along with the very interesting article! 😁

Sounds like they’ve read the article and are demonstrating some mild dominance behaviours. All sounds perfectly good so far.
 
They are gorgeous ……it does sound like they’re just establishing their relationship …..it’s good you are there ( not good you have covid tho😥) to keep an eye on them 🥰
