Hi there I made a previous post for my friend about her boars it’s day 11 now since she started bonding them and her new boar still keeps chasing her other one not really violently just sorta chasing him, any tips they won’t chase if they are eating together and seem very content when they are
 
Chasing is a very normal dominance behaviour. It’s more intense early in a bond but probably not something they will ever stop doing, you also can’t stop them. My boys have been together almost four years and still love to have a period of dominance most days - rumbling, chasing, mounting!
 
After two months I can say this is normal after bonding.
Yesterday barely any chasing, rumblestrutting, or dominance behavior.
Today was a total nightmare for a non experienced piggy owner. Non-stop dominance all afternoon. Now they are snoozing.

To clarify the dominance my boys exhibit are chasing, rumblestrutting (dominant one), head raising, and little nips or nudges or the rump or behind the ears.

Not bites and never blood.

Good luck and hopefully they calm down but they may not as mentioned above too.
