am guessing that while they are entire you will continue to have this problem, cos they are adolescents and feeling their hormones!! :rofl:

how old are they and have  they been neutered? If she is entire, she may be reaching sexual maturity, or possibly one or both of the boys are ...

Otherwise, yes, the girls are always in charge, sometimes in a quiet way, other times more aggressively. Feed the boys separately and see how it goes.

I have two young boys that absolutely adore each other and happily eat off the same plate or side by side but when I'm dishing out the Whiskas tempations (treats) they'll both hiss at each other!  As long as all three are getting enough food then I wouldn't overly worry.
