Licking And Nibbling On Your Finger?

[Fusion200]

Well, yeah, one of my piggies nibbles and licks my thumb

Hehe! My boys do this as well, particularly Sam! I think it is so sweet I think this can have different meanings in different piggies but as far as I can tell my Sam just does it because he's happy (or trying to lick of the residue from veggies I've just been feeding!) He does get a little more nibbly than licky when he's unhappy - usually when cleaning his bits out! Apparently with some piggies it's a sign they need the toilet.

Piglet and George do it out of affection (George only does it occasionally though), but Roger does it out of urgency lol.

Our boys prefer to lick and nibble our noses or ears, I think they are trying to tell us whose in charge by mutual grooming

I once heard that they like the salty taste of your skin?

My guinea pig Shadow licks me sometimes, I think it's just a cute way of showing her affection

Mavis licks me as a sign of affection but Bubbles on licks and then tries to nip, however this is generally when I've been feeding her veggies. It's quite cute either way.
