The hogs having just come out of hibernation are hungry, so I would set up a new feeding station further away. The dominant hog may well decide both dishes belong to him if you put side by side. Also you don’t really want them spending energy fighting over food at this point
The males usually come out of hibernation first ( not always ), and they will be trying to get ready for mating as soon as the females appear.
Toward the end of the year they are less interested in mating and more interested in fattening up, hence the reason you’ll have different behaviours – assuming they are the same hogs
Hope that helps
