Poor baby has been kicked out

NocturnalRapport

When we first brought our boys home, the largest of the two, Angel seemed determined to claim the alpha title. Lots of bum wiggling, rumbling and mounting going on.

Little Chocolate put up with it for a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden he turned and has totally taken over. He refuses to let Angel in the house, mounts him, chases him around, snatches food from him....

Anyway for the past couple of nights I have gone downstairs before bedtime to see poor Angel curled up trying to sleep on top of the house. Chocolate is all warm and snug inside.

I felt so sorry for Angel so I made him a little house of his own from a shoe box. They both played with it for a while before Chocolate returned to bed and Angel curled up inside the shoe box and went to sleep :) He has been 'living' in there ever since but it won't last him long as he only just fits in it now. I don't think we could fit a larger one in the cage.

Will they ever be able to share a house or once they kick each other out, is it permanant?
 
We have two males who sound very much like your two. Ours are called Zippy and Fuzzy and at first fuzzy was the dominant one and Zippy seemed okay with that. After a while though Zippy started to fight back and things turned nasty. We put a box in so that they had seperate sleeping quarters but when fuzzy went in it then zippy would try and get in as well which caused constant fighting. Several times zippy had a mouthful of fuzzys fur so in the end we gave up and seperated them into 2 cages where they now live next to each other. We still put them out on the grass together and they are fine but put them in a hutch and they just cant stay together.
 
How big is your cage? My boys usually sleep separately, one in a shoebox or one in a bigger sweet box and one has the house. But if you only have room for one small shoe box in your cage with two piggies, maybe that could be part of the problem - lack of space for them? x
 
Hey,

I have two girls and they have a C&C Cage, they have two pigloos, Fudge is very protective over hers...Even though there is two, Pickle still likes to sleep outside of the one Fudge is in, they are on Vetbed, so its cosey where ever they decide to drop themselves.
