why have my happy pigs started fighting?

[kittyla]

Hi, can anyone enlighten me as to why 3 piggies that have been happy for
2 months may have began to scrap? Crystal is the eldest at 2, Muffin(sow) & Truffle (neutered boar) are about 1yr old & came from a rescue 2mths ago. Crystal made herself dominent from the beginning (mounting etc) but her & Muffin have bonded well - lots of face licking. The fighting
has followed some intense antilice bathing, Muffin is now trying to mount
Crystal causing lots of teeth chattering, then normally meek Truffle joins in & they sound like piggy ww3 is about to happen. I've not had girls together before, is this a normal pattern of things? should I just leave them to get on with it?

oops, I hadn't looked at the sticky on this, I've just read through others experience on this.

Are they actually fighting, when you bathed them did you bath them all together?

It maybe a case there group scent has been removed and they are re-establishing dominance. Unless they are actually having psychical fights were blood is drawn. Just bare with it, they should settle down.

Piggies can make alot of noise, they are little drama Queen's!
