Licking?

[mrs ord]

My new boar Jacob/Jake sits very happily on my knee for a cuddle and likes to watch the world go by x) He also licks my hands and arms and has a little nibble with his teeth (not hard but I can feel his teeth) Is this a good affection thing or is he having a taste before biting a chunk out

Oh my lot do it all the time, take it as a sign of affection

 

[Wiebke]

That is an affection/exploration thing.

One of my pig's does that shes like a little dog lick,lick,lick it's so cute.

Aw bless him. Only had him a week so it's nice to know he's happy with me :<> Maybe he's sucking up because his randy antics are going to cost me a fortune next week rolleyes

My Biscuit loves to lick my fingers. If you turn your fingers over though, he like to chew nails as well!

I think it's affection/curiosity/exploration. My piggies do this too. Especially if I've been jogging and haven't taken a shower yet- then I guess I'm kind of like a salt lick!

both of mine lick and nibble me. tony likes to nibble my neck whereas peter likes to lick my neck, ears, hands etc etc... i just see it as affectianate as they squeek whilst they do it.

My three boys all love a nibble, they seem to have a knack for my favourite clothes though, my rather expensive 'poncy horse brand' as my OH calls it gilet has Dodge-made holes in it now...

My other two pig's have started to do it not as much as porridge but it's a start!
