Ok so for a while now my 2 boys have been fighting, i know they at that age where they guna fight to be "top pig"

But I'm really worried about sweep, they been fighting alot. & sutty has pulled some clumps of hair out of sweep again. & they always chattering teeth at each other, and doing that dance & purring sound. & then sutty will like push sweep into a corner

they haven't drawn blood..
does anyone know what i should do. should i let them sort it out? or split them up? for permanent or Evan for a short period.?
 
I am probably not the best person to reply but it sounds alot like sutty is already asserting himself as top pig and it's just a matter of time before sweep gives in to that idea, if they are not drawing blood I would just keep a close eye on them perhaps put a partition in of a night time when you cant monitor it, from what I have read it can be quite upsetting for us, but not that a big ordeal for the pigs, and unless blood is being drawn you could make it worse seperating them, I am sure someone with more experience will help, but I feel for you!

thanks. i think that sounds about right, he does seem to be the top pig. hes alot bigger than sweep, but sweep still is trying to be top pig & i think is winding sutty up so then he just puts sweep in his place.

ive seen that someone recommended getting 2 feeding bowls? as well as drink bottles? & do you think they have enuff room? ive got a c&c cage 2x3 with up stairs.
 
Two of everything really helps, idealy boars also need more like a 2x4 or 2x5 C&C cage aswell :( Is it possible for you to extend? any extra space would help. :)
