Lunging?

[Ramia]

Stripe (dominant) was rumbling and going towards Chesney. Chesney for the first time wasn't going to take it and kinda lunged at Stripe. Then he squealed in submission.

Should I be worried Chez is going to challenge Stripe's dominance? I never saw him defending himself before.

Hi

Lunging is always a defensive behaviour, not an aggressive one. It translates as a strongly worded 'Stay out of my space'. the more desperate a piggy, the stronger the lunging.
