He's very quiet this morning & hasn't eaten his breakfast, he's bonded with Harvey and did notice Zac had a tiny little scratch to his nose yesterday :'( I'm thinking they have started to fight .. They are in a sage house which I don't think it's suitable for 2 piggies but they are out in a large run in the daytime so only go into the hutch for night time. .
Do you think Zac could be depressed or maybe being bullied ? I have a large hutch but hubby needs to do a few minor jobs to it tonight I'll put them in there tonight . Is there anything I can do for Zac or do you think he needs the vets today ?
 
Poor Zac, have you seen them fight Karen? I would seperate and see if you can get him to eat, if not then get him to a vet to be on the safe side.

Hope he is ok. :smitten:

No Lousie I've never seen them fight but their hutch is under my bedroom window which I leave wide open so I can hear if there's a cat or fox trying to get to them, I did hear some banging round early this morning I just thought they were throwing the bowl around waiting for their breakfast.. I'm off to work soon do you think I should put Zac in another hutch when I'm out ? Zac's in his run at the moment & I've left Harvey in the hutch.
 
Could be a minor thing. To be honest I don't think i would seperate just yet because if you do then they may fly at one another when you put them back together but then when you are out they may fight! ::)

I'd see how they go before you go out and if you feel better seperating them then I would but if they seem ok leave them as they are. Oh I'm no help! Sorry! ;D Boars they are little terrors. Hope things work out x
 
He's eaten a little bit of cucumber and a piece of carrot I'll put him back with Harvey soon & watch how they get on. If I get home from work & he's still the same I'll get him to the vets.
 
you could perhaps try to syringe feed him and some water is he continues not to eat. depending on their age it could be a dominence/hormonal thing. hoping things work out for you and the boys hugs and healing vibes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
