I was wondering..
How do you know who´s alpha in the cage?
And are there any "rules" to who becomes alpha?
To me, it seems like Nirvana is alpha(she´s flipping the boys over, grooming them etc), but she´s only four months and half their size.. They are almost a year..
So I´m curious..
Earlier I had no clue who was alpha..
 
You observations are probably right as to who is alpha. Just by watching them you will be able to see who is the boss and its not always the biggest or the oldest just the most determined one.

thanks..
I just find it strange that she´s alpha when she´s a lot younger and as long as they are wide :lol:
Is it possible that the boys just didn´t want to be alpha?
 
The boys are neutered and she is spayed.
Not that anybody has told any of them that..
There has not been any arguing over the alpha role at all..
 
I have noticed with boys that even the alpha will allow himself to be bullied by a girl. But it is possible for her to be alpha if the boys don't care for the position.

I have almost never seen Edward(I´m assuming he was alpha) flip her over.. Not even the first time they met.. None of them did..
So to me at least it seems like they just don´t want to be alpha.. But I don´t have any experience with this at all..
