Poor Artie is in the wars atm, with a missing toe nail and now a cut lip/nose!

Boys! Ive been keeping a close eye on the two fellas over the past week, and they are giving me a headache. lol, they are normally fine with one another and have been for the past ten months but suddenly Arties become a possessed pig!

Hes humping, chasing, teeth chattering, squaring up to Harvey who normally just ignores him, but obv. this behaviour will become annoying to anyone who was being humped/chased etc. when your just trying to nibble some hay.

I watched them today in the run, and Artie chased Harvey around for a good 15 mins, eventually Harvey turned round and teeth chattered at Artie as if to say 'oi pack it in!'

They have a 6 ft 4 ft shed to themselves as well as a 5ft double hutch.. mallethead Artie whats wrong with you? It seems to have come about ever since i washed them.

I'm going to be keeping an eye out on the two over the next couple of days and if anything escalates into anything more i think I'm going to have to split them and try and re-bond them when they've reached adulthood. Boys!:(
 
Oh no! Well I hope no more injuries come about and that the two .. well Artie will cut it out! Fingers crossed! x
 
Thank you, things seem to be calmer this morning....for now! I think it must be the sun getting to them lol!
 
Aww poor Artie! Hope it heals soon...poor little guy.

I think it must be the time of year or something making the boys act crazy.
 
Aww, bless him...it will all end in tears rolleyes :)). I hope they sort themselves out soon as it would be such a shame if you had to separate them :(. Good luck, and I hope his nose heals soon.
