Dominance Question?

[JJ226]

Hi everyone,

So after reading the post on sow behaviour and dominance, I just want to check what's happening between my girls over!

Audrey has essentially claimed the rabbit hut and whenever Aggie would try to enter, she'd be nudged out and left to sleep in the tunnels!

As you can see, I've now bought Aggie a second smaller sleeping hut.

Is this just something I shouldn't let bother me now? They've sorted it out and Audrey is clearly the more dominant? Or is there something I could do?

I also thought they both looked very cute in their little huts so was good photo opportunity! To say it's only been 11 days they've been with me, they both seem really comfortable!

Thanks

J

No that is fine! Give both girls their hidey and bowl to make sure that they are happy. Not all pairs are snuggle-uppers, and some sows are more dominant than others. This doesn't mean that the relationship is not going to work in the long term.
