My two boars are one year old, and have never been seperated. We've never had any problems, but recently they've been quite aggressive towards each other. There's been no fighting or injury, at least that we've seen, but they bare their teeth at each other and make noises we haven't heard before.

Help, I really don't want to seperate them after this long together!
 
Has anything changed, like a new cage or new territory? This can spark of fterritorial-type behaviour. Do you have any other pigs? Smelling girly pigs can make boys fall out.

Give them two of everything - food bowls, piles of veg, etc. so they don't have a reason to fight over that, and take out any hidey holes that they fight over, for starters

No changes at all, I'm meant to be getting a girl pig in the near future, but unless they understand English, I can't see it being a problem!

I'll try two food bowls and water bottles, as that seems to be the area they are getting snippy over.

I've never seen them act like this before, I'm keeping one eye on them all the time to make sure they don't start on each other!
 
Haha, I suppose the fact there is a strange new pen in the living room full of pink accessories might be hinting to them that they soon won't be the only pigs in the house!

I thought it might be something puberty related, after all, they are still relatively young, and they've had similar stages before, only they were much more...amorous towards each other (much to my OHs horror, he thought they might be gay!), so maybe this is just another one!
 
Haha, I thought I saw a look of sheer-piggy-horror when they were running about today and saw it!
 
Mine always argue when I'm about to feed them but its only been happening for a few weeks so I need advice too!")
 
I got a new food bowl and a new water bottle today, as well as putting another little tube full of hay in, et voila! No problems today, I'm really relieved!

Hopefully that's it sorted =]
