I've only raised one baby russian before and boy is he a big boy now.
But now I have a small herd of adolescents. I was originally keeping them together in the same pen until I turned my back one day while feeding and an accident occured...a bite (stupid me...NEVER again. All in separate pens now).

Now however, it seems they're all a little more sedate now.
Am I just anthropomorphising or is it possible they are a little more social than I thought? i.e. lonely? Or maybe just a little less stressed?

Or is it more of a feeding response? They see a 'rival' nearby and thus try to eat more, and faster? I figure thats probably the reason for the bite on my littlest...Aggressiveness.
