New hutch making them fight?

[Jem121]

My boys have recently got a new hutch, they had the odd squabble when they was in there old one no fighting just bum wiggling and teeth chattering. Just boys being boys really. But that was only every so often, now there in the new one they seem to be doing it every other day at least. Will it settle down eventually? Have they got to figure out whose boss all over again.?

They will be sorting out whose in charge in the new cage, is there anything that sets them off?

Not that I can see, they have 2 food bowls, they have 2 tunnels they only have one hidey house but norman is they only one to ever go in there. So they don't have anything to squabble over, they just do it whenever.

Even cleaning an existing cage out can set some boars squabbling. The only way I found to avoid a fall-out at each cage clean with one pair was to put back in some of the soiled litter/shavings so the dominance smells/hierarchy remained. You might like to consider doing this at each clean until things settle down
