advice needed

[Emiley]

As most of you know, I have a newly bonded pair of boars. Gilly, is 1 and Leo is 5 weeks old.

Neither of them are being agressive from what I can see, it's just Gilly is following Leo absolutely everywhere. He will not leave Leo alone, and I think he's trying to tell him to back off.

Gilly's been following him around the hutch almost all day, do you think they will settle down after a few days.. is this normal?

I'm a little worried

Anyone? I'm not sure what to do...

It is normal behaviour, so leave them to sort it out between them. As long as there is no violence or Leo is being kept from eating, drinking and sleeping, you have to let them be. Leo will protest if it gets too much for him. If you wish, put in a hidey or tunnel that is small enough for only Lo to get in.

Mine take it in turns to follow flash about or flash follows one of the girls about for a while but nothing ever comes of it, no aggression involved so I just took this as normal settling in behaviour - flash as you may remember has been with the girls since last tues (26th april). It has lessened a lot, they were doing a lot of following for the first couple of days.
