And I have had enoughmallethead

They are mounting each other continuously (Bigger one is constantly on little one!) And Nipper (lil one) has had enough! They've started sounding like budgies,chasing each other, chattering and putting noses up in the air. Cuddles (Big one) is coming at nipper like a flaming crab!? and nippers JUMPING away malletheadmallethead

so.. ive put cuddles in the cat box (its pigs box I don't have a cat lol) and given nipper some space. Ive cleaned the cage etc and now put them back t ogether with a cuddly toy too! plus two carrots and two more toys!

What is going on!?

They are quiet now in their separate hideys so will this now stop do you think? Its a bit too much for poor lil nipper@)

Sounds perfectly natural to me, typical boar dominance behaviour to determine who is in charge!
As long as their is no blood drawn I'd just leave them to it, how old are they? this behaviour is very common up to 18 months old then they tend to settle down.

Look here for boar behaviour

Some days they can be more hormonal than others I have found, I can always tell when Billy is having one of his hormonal days.....
