Hi all,

I have 3 x 15 week old boys who are from the same litter and a reputable breeder and are starting to squabble a bit too hard for my liking...

I have seen 2/3 puffing up and 2/3 wagging tails, they've all been on their hind legs boxing each other, sidling, peeping and squeaking. I've experienced a few minor rat balls that I've been able to break up quickly, no blood or injuries. One of the boys is quite nippy with me still but the other two are well mannered. This mostly happens on free roam with some squabbling in the cage.

I can't pin down an aggressor or a common denominator, everyone seems to be getting involved. I know they have to go through a certain amount to establish a hierarchy, no blood no foul? 🤔 It seems early to remove the trouble puffs!

Thoughts and experiences please? (I have videos for further info should that help)
