Answer
Hi Rebecca,

It sounds like they are going through puberty. Boars especially have a hard time between the ages of around 4 - 10 months, then they tend to take a further couple of months to cool off and calm down after the 5 or 6 months of raging hormones.

A good cage size (www.cavycages.com) helps tremendously, as does plenty of floor time, and a hidey house and food dish each (spread out, not all in one place).

Best Wishes,
