Title: Female Kune attacking another female
Post by: Annie46 on August 02, 2015, 09:05:06 am

Hi

Don't know if anyone can help, I have 4 Kune pigs, 3 female 1 male (neutered). three have been together for 6 years and the other is the daughter of one who is 4. last night the younger one would not come down to the arc and when I found her she was covered in cuts. She slept outside the arc all night and in the morning when feeding was very wary of her aunt, who once finished feeding then chased her off so I am assuming she is the culprit. Jessie the aunt does have a cranky moments which I think are due to her hormones however she is not in full rant yet - when she is she screams non stop if she sees anyone and paces like a lion. Has anyone else experienced this degree of aggression in females that have been together for a long time? I know there are the odd niggles and snapping that does occur but this was a lot more vicious!

Thank you

I suggest you put this in the Pigs section as not everyone reads the Intros.
