Advice for behaviour

[amber horner]

I have 4 piggies my oldest two are 3 years old and my youngest two are 18 months old. My oldest 2 live together happily while I've had to separate my youngest 2 as they don't get along at all. I've noticed over the last few days that one of my youngest piggies has become what seems like very frustrated. He is biting his pen bars constantly, he's trying his best to get at my other piggy. He makes lots of noise. I have him out on his own for floor time everyday for over 2 hours, I've brought him lots of boredom toys and knaw toys but he never seems calm. He is constantly running around his pen. Any help or advice will be great as I'm worried about him x

If you have him out on his own, then every time you put him back you are re-starting the bonding process! No wonder he is so agitated!

Please stop separating him from his cagemate unless blood is drawn. They need to sort out dominance between them and get past that phase in order to live happily together. If blood is drawn you will need to separate them permanently.

Please carefully read the bonding guidelines on this site

So to clarify, your youngest two used to live together but there have been problems so you’ve separated them.
What were the problems that caused you to separate them? Are you sure it was not just normal dominance and hence separated prematurely? How long have they been separated? You should only separate boars if blood has been drawn.
How the other piggy behaving? Was the other one the one being bullied? It is the one being bullied you need to watch - if he is now happier away from the bully then you did the right thing in separating as the bond wasn’t working. If it was a recent separation then, that may explain why this piggy is now behaving frustrated but it isn’t actually him you need to be immediately concerned about.
Are you planning on getting him a new friend?

If blood was drawn, hence the separation, then it may be that you need to move their cages well away from each other.

Blood was drawn I had to to take one to the vets as my piggy with the behaviour concerns at the moment bit his old pen mate really bad and took limps of his fur out. They have been separated for almost 8 months and have lived happily side by side in separate pens. They came together as a pair but as they got older they would fight so bad that as I said before blood was drawn and I had no choice to separate them.

Ok, so you did the right thing in separating.
I would suggest, as I said above, moving their cages apart for now, it may help to ease his frustration but it does mean that he won’t have any source of interaction. Ordinarily keeping cages side by side is what you would do but if it now winding him up....
It may well be though that if he now doesn’t have a friend, that he is simply craving piggy interaction. Have you considered bonding him with another boar?

I am currently looking for a new friend for him hoping to try and bond him with a rescue piggy as soon as I find a boar. He's such a lovely piggy he loves his cuddles I just want to make sure he is ok and I'm doing everything I can to make sure he is happy
