Hi Coley
I have always found that hoglets rule the roost at the feeding area and the adults, including large males will give way to them – although I don’t recall any actually rolling up. But it seems when they are young all adults are very tolerant – until they reach a certain size and then the gloves are off!
But what you describe sounds slightly different with the hoglet nudging the side of an adult. I suppose it’s possible it’s the hoglets mother and she’s trying to distance herself from it. It’s sometimes hard to know why things happen, especially when not seeing the actual behaviour. It’s also possible that it’s a precocious male nudging a female. In that case, I don’t imagine she would be that impressed!
Although when you say juvenile, I am assuming you mean a hoglet, but maybe you don’t?
