I had Penny and Luna out for a cuddle about 30 mins ago, and Luna started nuzzling (best word I can think of right now) Penny.
I got a video of it, so I'll post that on here if someone can tell me how :red
I thought maybe it could just be that Luna is grooming Penny.
 
maybe this will work:

Well that didn't work.

Thanks. My first thought was 'What on earth is she doing to her?' but I saw that Penny didn't move away or anything. Was just making sure that she is just grooming her.

I worry too much, about everything :red
 
If you prove to be a really good slave, you might find that they start licking and nuzzling you too. It freaked my younger son out as he thought he was going to get bitten, but my Abi P.P. loves having a (very gentle) nibble of me. I take it as a compliment!
 
Luna kinda licked me earlier, before she started climbing all over me. I have had them for 2 weeks now and that is the first time she has been really 'adventurous' whilst out of her cage.

I got a sample of ReadiGrass to let them try before I bought some, and they LOVE it. As soon as I opened the bag they started sniffing the air. It's so cute!
I had them out and gave them a little pile of it and the bag was open next to me and Luna tried to walk into the bag. Had to close it after that. It's a plastic bag, so not good. I am going to see if I can find some paper bags though because I have seen that piggies seem to like them :))
While eating the pile of ReadiGrass that I gave them, they were squeaking and popcorning around like crazy and making a HUGE mess :)
They seem happy so I must be doing somthing right. I don't know why I worry so much.
 
Check out the threads for advice on readigrass; although the pigs love it, I think that too much is bad for them. I gave up on it after two bags in succession turned out to be full of a LOT of dust. I think the calcium level is quite high - check the health threads.

I use long stranded hay as I find it is a better snuggling material, and doesn't create the mess that short stranded or chopped hay seems to.
 
You're piggies are so sweet x) and wow Penny is so laid back. :o Either that or my pigs are really un-laid back....

Well Penny loves to just lie there and do nothing. Every now and then she'll have a mad dash around, get some food etc. but then she'll go back off into one of the fleecey housey things I made and just lie there. Luna has a tendancy to run around the cage popcorning, and then when she's had enough she goes and buries herself UNDER the cuddle cup thingy. However, the other day I couldn't find her anywhere and after getting really worried, I saw the hay rack wriggling. I have no idea how she got in there, but she did :{

Out of the two of them Penny is the laid back one (unless you try to pick her up. She hates anyone going near her belly) and Luna is the crazy excited one :))
 
I found it adorable how Luna nuzzled Penny and Penny just sat there. Maybe Penny enjoyed it? Both are just so cute.
