Rumblestrutting butt chasing

[Shanj19]

I’m getting a little bit worried, my one boar keeps following my other boars back end and rumblestrutting? It’s making the other boar abit jumpy, does this happen with anyone else’s? I’m all over the place with fear that they will fight! They are 12months old in March

This is normal behaviour for piggies.
Walking nose to bum is common.
Rumblestrutting is also normal behaviour.

The time to worry with boars is if there is serious fighting and blood is drawn, otherwise they are just doing what piggies do.

I’m sure experienced boar owners will be along with more helpful advice

That alone is just comfort enough. I’ve had an awful day and my pigs not being friends would be the worst

Sorry you’ve had a bad day.
Worrying about piggies doesn’t help but yours sound normal.
I have sows and when Priscilla is in season she will follow, bum sniff and hump one of the others who just runs away - hotly pursued by Priscilla.
When it gets too much there’s a bit of lunging but no serious fighting

So I posted earlier about my one piggie being quiet dominant with the other out of the blue. He’s started following his bottom and rumblestrutting and basically chasing him. There’s no biting or anything but this is my fear from what I’ve read this is quiet normal behaviour but does it ever settle? I’m starting to worry poor roary will forever feel picked on. We’ve had them since June, and they will be one in March they’ve had the odd rumblestrut at each other but today I’ve seen quiet abit!

Your boys are in the teenage months now and are obviously experiencing a hormone spike. The behaviour will eventually settle again.
As long as it stays in the very mild range (as yours), there is nothing to worry about. It's just not very much fun for you to sit through it.
Make sure that you only have hideys with two exits and no dead areas where a piggy can be cornered in during the teenage months.
