Hello there.
We have had our pigs for around 2 years now and there has never been any problems with them until tonight.
They are brothers from the same litter, and have never fought with each other before but after giving them a bath and a haircut tonight one of them seems to be harassing the other. I've posted some videos below showing whats happening.
The grey haired one seems to be chasing, mounting and nibbling(?) the other one, who keeps running away. There's a lot of squeaking and what sounds like teeth chattering every now and then. This has been going on for about an hour. No blood or any yelps that sound like pain though, just what you see and hear in the videos.
We had given them a bath and a cut tonight because they were due a grooming, and we have done this several times in the past without any issue. We also did a deep clean on the hutch. Could this have had any effect on the pecking order if we've washed and cut their fur?
Are they fighting and do we need to separate them or is this looking like normal (albeit never seen before) behaviour?
Thanks for any advice.
