Just a quick question really .. I've heard at a young age they go through "puberty". Where they start to have little fights and see who's the biggest. I don't want that to happen to my pigs, as they've grown to love each other so much, they never ever fight, at all. And I don't want to seperate them either!
So if anybody knows the answer please say It's not really urgent
Forgot to mention they're both males. !

I think they do in some ways. Lambert went through a stage where he deserved his nickname Bratnick. But he seems more mature and better behaved now. I think that must have been his "teen time". He annoyed the other piggies, but they are all older so they tolerated him. Two young males might get into a bit of challenging each other.

Sorry this is a bit late, only just rememberd I post this haha !
Thanks, hopefully mine won't go through that. Although Archie (the younger one) keeps biting Alfie's ear. Only when we're holding them though. I think he gets jelous or something. Or teething.. if they do teeth
But I know that there's not really any fighting to see who's the leader. Alfie's not much, but, still bigger than Archie. So I think Archie think's Alfie's the boss of the couple

They will probably be fine together. A little bit of tension is good. You would expect them to squabble a little. They will work things out and be comfortable together. Even my gang that get along so well, has its moments. I try not to interfere with day to day issues. They always resolve things and no one gets hurt.
