Hi guys,

Both my boys have started teeth chattering (no biting either each other or me) and stroppy in that today I tried to give them a cabbage leaf and they both were interested and poked their heads out but neither came near.

They’re both approx. 17 weeks old (according to the lady when I got them they were around 12 weeks old but I don’t know for sure) so I’m wondering if they are going through the stroppy teenage phase and should I be worrried about the teeth chattering?
 
Quiet teeth chattering is a mild dominance behaviour. Loud chattering is a sign that they are getting more cross. If you search the behaviour section, you will find threads showing what behaviours mean and when to step in.
Yes at that age, they are entering the hormonal teenage phase which you can expect to last until they are around 14 months old.
