Boars Behaving Badly
My two troublemakers are doing a lot better. Although there is still some rumblestrutting (in unision usually which is quite amusing!) the chattering at each other, yawning, and lunging has stopped. The boys still chase each other around, but it definitely seems more like play than them being aggressive. They hang out together on the end of the cage they were previously ignoring, but they do seem to make more use of the entire cage. Best of all, no more wounds have been found. Not even teeny tiny ones!
Last night Romeo got very excited hearing the rustle of plastic bags and Ross and Chandler popcorning in their cages. He put on quite a popping squeaking show. I couldn't stop laughing. It was too cute!
George's main issue now is his distrust of people. He's getting a lot better, but we're still working on winning him over. As he seems to get more comfy with us, in turn he doesn't take out his problems on Romeo.
Maybe they will work out as a pair after all.

Ok this is quite possibly the funniest thread I've read yet.
I'd like to chyme in that my Matilda thinks she's a big bad boar on a daily basis, she can rumblestrutt with the best of them and even after over two years of happily living together she still has to come out of whatever pigloo she's occupying at random times through the day and rumble around the entire cage! I'm going to have to get it on video because it's quite funny, Clair will just continue to lay in her pigloo and just watches her go around as if to say "oh lord here we go again"
Matilda is rumbling "i'm the biggest, i'm the badest" shaking her booty all around the 2x4.
So as you have said it isn't just boars who do this!

Our two foster boars, Roger and Kevin, are still in quarantine in the living room. They rumble at EVERYTHING. Each other. Food bowls. Hay racks. The dog. The cat.
We're watching some sappy lifetime-esque crying movie the other day, and the main character is getting ready to die and we're all sniffling, Roger goes "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" at the TV.

Jasper does a funny thing with his incessant rumbling. He has to remind the girls of his boarliness every few minutes or so, but sometimes if he's a bit sleepy or bit hot he rumblestruts from a lying down position. It's hilarious. He sort of raises his head and paddles his feet and waggles his butt a little but his fat belly never leaves the floor of the cage. I must get a video.
