Answer 1

I think your pigs are fighting over terratory, and I think that seperate cages might have to be your best option.

Answer 2

They are just fighting to see who is boss. I would keep them together as long as blood is not being shed. They need to fight in order for them to live in peace. I know it sounds strange but they are animals and that is the way nature works.

Answer 3

First when you get a new animal it is best to keep them alone for at least a week. Give them that quarantine period so that you can be sure they are not bringing any communicable diseases to your other pets.

That said...give them time. They need to get used to eachother. Slowly introduce them by keeping their cages next to eachother and after a couple days letting them play together on your lap.

Put a small dab of vanilla on each of their backs so they have some of the same scent.

Dont just throw them in together and expect them to all be happy.

There still may be a little fighting as they establish their pecking order. But as long as you supervise it that is fine.

And like I already said give them time!
