[Gpdd] Behaviour - Aggressive Piggie

Can anyone give me any advice on one of my piggies,
please?

A few years ago, Cordelia was a really agressive pig,
especially with one of my piggies, Belinda, who has
now crossed the bridge.  I think this came about
because Belinda had a very bad skin infection when she
was a pup and I had to wrap her in bandages, a
consequence of which was that she always remained
tiny. I had another girl at the time, who was older
and always put Cordelia in her place when she bullied
Belinda, but sadly, she crossed the bridge when she
was only 18 months old.  After she left, Cordelia got
progressively worse.  I decided to get an older pig to
take Delilah's place, but actually ended up with a
baby pig, Persephone, who I had found in terrible
circumstances.  Funnily enough, Persephone was even
more aggressive than Cordelia, so although I managed
to give Belinda reprieve from Cordelia, Persephone
took her place, although she did calm down after a
while and harmony reigned.  Persephone has turned into
the most lovely, soft and gentle girl.

This past week, however, Cordelia has become really
aggressive towards Persephone, for no reason that I
can fathom.  She will not leave her alone - she's
always trying to mount her, or move her out of a
pigloo or just generally chase her around.  Persephone
just takes it and will not stand up for herself, but
she's beginning to look very sad and last night,
during floor time, just hid in a tent.

Has anyone got any idea why Cordelia could have just
become so aggressive, and is there any way I can stop
her?  

Warm wheeks to all, and thoughts to all those who have
recently lost piglets.

Julia, Cordelia, Persephone, Paddington, and Emily
