Just a quick question! I've noticed Amber often wipes her bottom across the floor. My boys used to do this all the time which I knew was normal but do girls do it too?

I'm getting worried Amber may be Amboar!

Sows also mark their territory with the same special glands. You only tend to notice it more with boars during their boarly workouts. :)
 
Thank you so much! I was getting a little worried. I've been checking she's a girl everytime I handle her.


This has put my mind at rest :) thank you.
 
Sows do it too... it's part of marking territory. Sundae waits at the cage door so she can be the first back in to drag her butt on everything! I can remember my kids licking a chocolate bar the whole way down so no one would try to steal it... same kind of 'I claimed it, it's mine!' mentality.

I totally check to make sure mine are girls at least once a week. They're all above 5 months and two are 5 years so I don't know why I insist on being so paranoid. My mom thinks I'm a wacko. My sister already calls me the crazy pig lady ;)
