Lately my boys have more and more been rumblestrutting but this time they are squaring up to each other and snapping at each others faces but then they start squeaking and popcorning afterwards. I am just concerned they are going to start fighting. What should I do?
 
It could just be that they are settling dominance issues now that you've moved them into the front room. Or just that you're more aware of their behaviour because you're getting to spend more quality time with them now. My girls have been snapping at each other a bit the last few days- mainly over the dry food as I've been reducing the portion size a bit. :)
 
Thank you both. Well yes maybe they are picking something up, Victor wasn't well a while ago, the vet said it wasn't due to the break up/change but they are very perceptive and mummy has had a tough time lately. My housemate moves in in a few days so hopefully that will make the house a little more lively and happy.

Yes also cos I spend more time with them, maybe it is something they always did? They are nearly 11 months old now so maybe they are trying to act like big men! :(|)
 
Maybe because of their cage move, they want to argue over the new territory . . . ? My boys do that snapping thing too, sometimes, but don't bite, just squabbling.
