Male boar won’t stop rumblestrutting

[Atlanta May]

Ok so I had two male guinea pigs ad he rumble strutted quite a lot but not as much as when I put the third boar in he doesn’t hurt him or chatter his teeth he even occasionally licks him and pop corns after rumbling at him. I bonded them all about 1 month ago and he’s only just started to do it every single Time her sees the third boar he will stand outside the bed the third one is in just to rumble strut at him and he never can be quite I don’t understand it at all. It can get so loud and so annoying when I’m trying get to sleep.

So first, rumblestrutting is a normal dominance behaviour. However, it is incredibly hard to keep three males together and it usually ends in fights. How old are they? If they are youngsters then hormones will be kicking in and you can expect things to get worse. It is unlikely they will make it to adulthood as a trio of boars and they will at some point have to be separated into a pair and a single with the single then needing a new friend. At worst, they will all fall out and all three will then be single and each needing a new friend.

I have a boar in with girls, he is constantly rumblestrutting, its funny the girls take no notice of him, they just think go away.
I wouldnt try to put 3 boys together, one of them will end up getting hurt.

The oldest one isn’t a year and the other two are younger like 8 months

At that age, they are right in the middle of their teenage hormonal times, and around 8/10 months there is a spike it will get worse for a while. They don’t reach adulthood until around 14 months so this will continue for a while.
It does still stand though that it is unlikely they will stay amicable into adulthood. You should have a back up plan and spare cage always on standby to separate if things take a turn for the worse.
The advice is usually it’s best to separate before it gets to that though, because the fall out rate amongst three boars is huge (about 90%) and you risk injuries and three single piggies.
