New Born Pup
I’ve had our re-homed piggies for two weeks now, 2 females, allegedly sisters approximately 1 year old (details from former owner very sketchy!) They’ve gone from being in a very plain standard sized cage to a nice large hutch with integrated run with plenty of tubes/toys and hideys each. The problem I’m having is one keeps harassing the other with dominant behaviour, the first week must have ended in a fight as the larger dominant piggy had a nasty ear injury! (treated and healed now) Our smaller Piggy doesn’t seem to submit and they stand off with teeth chattering etc especially when I let them into their large play pen. I separated them with a little fence in their playpen - but they started gnawing at the bars and pushing their faces together as if they wanted to be with each other, yet when I put them back together - big pig spends ages chasing and trying to hump small pig! I’ve noticed some scratch / possibly nip marks on small pigs rump, I’m worried small pig is getting bullied - although I see her eat & drink etc. Will big pig settle down and stop this nonsense? I feel sorry for small pig - who is definitely the quieter of the two. Any advice appreciated! X
