Fergus' bid for dominance! Advice needed please

[emmylou]

Ok so the younger boar of my pair (Fergus who is 11 weeks old) keeps mounting my eldest (Faelan who is 14 month), There is alot of chasing and squeaking going on atm. Should i be worried and seperate them or leave them to it? :{

should help you, but this sounds fine to me, leave them together for now, but if you get more worried then think about it more, the thread should help though

This is normal boar behaviour. They are trying to establish who is the dominant one. You only need to separate of they draw blood.

it sounds to me like the younger pig is becoming hormonal it's not unusual at that age for them to start throwing their weight around. as long as it doesn't get nasty and no blood is drawn they'll be fine together, but if it does get that bad i would seperate them x

That was just what i needed to put my mind at ease, i feel safer going to bed and leaving them now. Thanks ever so much for your help |)
