Help - Not Sure If This Is Behaviour Or Illness

[Katiedid]

I have 2 boars both about 4, they were separated from 15 months until a month ago and have been getting on great. Today one of them just won't leave the other alone.

It stated with him ousting the other out of the bed and he is following him constantly nose to butt. He seems to be following my other piggy so that he can eat his poop! It's relentless and dozy is getting quite fed up now. Dozy is doing all the pacification things - he is usually submissive - but he flat refused to move from the bed. When he did jet went in and ate his poop then followed him.

He seems to be nudging him until he poops then eating it..... help....

It sounds ike a hormonal spike. If necessary, separate overnight and put them back together once your persistent boy has calmed down again. Do intros in a neutral area.
