Bum sniffing

[Shannonford101]

Hello!

One of my guinea boys often sniffs his own bum sometimes when he’s having a poo. Is this normal? He sniffs the other ones bottom too.

Thanks

Let’s just say boars will be boars lol! Mine does the same but if you mean he’s reaching under his tummy sniffing there’s a good chance he’s actually snatching up his poos to eat! Completely normal and it’s actually good for them!

Yes this is entirely normal!

That’s fine then! I thought it was so weird that he sniffed his belly / bum so much

but then I worry about everything even when he shakes his head to popcorn.
