To all of suden lose all confidence and getting pushed by random lone nomads..

I think it must be some kind of disease/health problems, especially visible on smaller/mohawked male.

For months he looks quite skinny and lost all his mane. I also saw recent footage of him vomiting.

Both males also seen ocassionaly limping for half a year now, maybe more.

These guys are 6.5 yrs old, in their prime, had history of clashing and chasing territorial males, there should be no reason for that if they are 100% healthy, just look at their northern brothers, they are massive beast, idk.

I think there must be health problems.

As we are all aware, the scourge that is TB causes crystals to build up on the bones, making it incredibly painful to walk or move around. I sure hope these boys don't have it, but the signs are there. I remember S8, in his final days, throwing up, a lot. His end came relatively quickly, from the time we first noticed the black spots on his front shoulder, then when he got really sick, it took him in a matter of days, absolutely heartbreaking. I wish nothing but success for the two SBDM, and have had so much hope for them both, since their arrival in SS. I will continue to hold onto that, until we know for certain one way or the other.
