We got a new piggy. And it was sexed as a female.

But we just saw it tryibg to hump are a female.

Do females do that to each other?

Yes females do it too but you should definitely check the sex yourself to be sure

Hi and welcome

Please always double check the gender of any new piggies upon arrival and latest before bonding with your piggies (and if necessary your old ones, too). There is so much mis-sexing around.

Mounting is a mild dominance behaviour that is practised by both genders.

She is the one with the black eyes

Not the best picture. She's camera shy

Yes, it's normal dominance behavior, but do double-check genders with any new pig! You can post pics of their bits if you are unsure!
