Hello
Our two GPs are litter-brothers, and we got them in August time when they
are perhaps 4-5months old. The two boars, both un-neutered seeing as we
aren't introducing females, got on fine until maybe a month ago when they
started bickering, but nothing too serious.
However, when the weather turned colder and we moved them inside to a
smaller cage, they started fighting and one of them is on the receiving
end - he makes the "wheek" sound whenever his brother goes near him - and
when the two are close together, the aggressive one lunges at the scared
one.
We have now moved them back outside so that they have a latrge hutch and a
paddock area to run around in, privded with various boxes to go inside and
lots of hay to sleep in , especially inside the hutch in order to keep
warm.
They are still fighting - the wheeking sounds are pretty upsetting to
hear.
What can we do to stop them from fighting? Maybe being back in the
original
larger cage will calm them down. In people's experience, is that likely to
happen? If not, what should we be doing?
Thanks in advance (again) for any help proffered.
