help! bubble keeps mounting squeak!

[squeakbubble]

All morning we have heard a vibrating sound coming from the cage, bubble keeps stalking squeak, rumbling and hips swaying and then tries to mount her, followed by lots of squealing and chasing. What is going on? Is bubble in heat? Am terrified she is really a boy! Is this normal?

This is what happens when a sow comes into season. She is saying she is in charge. It is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

Ah thanks! We just took squeak out for a bit to give her a break. Should we be handling bubble differently, does she need to be left alone? How long does it last? Sorry for all of the questions xx

You do not need to do anything at all. Sows come into season every sixteen days. Feel free to ask questions. That is what the forum is for.

My two boys do that a lot, mainly Pip. He just wants to let chip know he's in charge.

If you are in any doubt about their gender, it'd be worth getting someone experienced to check
