My elderly piggie licked me

[ThePiggyPalace]

He has done it a few times now. He's lovely and he's very affectionate generally. What is he doing when he licks me?

When a guinea pig licks you, it's a special sign of affection.
Or your skin tastes nice.

Both my boys lick, one more than the other. I class this as kisses. This morning I had a blood test and at lap time Master Boris was very insistent about licking where it had been done, bless him. There have been other occasions when I've had a minor injury and whichever boy I have will find my booboo and spend ages licking the site.

Awww such lovely piggies we have.

My RB piggy Biscuit used to lick me and I really miss it. Spice will sometimes nibble my finger gently, Toffee just comes up, sniffs my hand thinks 'Oh, no food' and runs away. (I love them both though )

Aw you guys. There's a lot of love from our piggies. My boy is in a mood with me as I left him and his brothers in the care of their grandma (my mum). His brothers are fine and were so happy to see me and Billy usually would be so happy to see me but this time he's not best pleased! He stopped me from stroking him and turned his bum to me! He was lapping up strokes and attention from my mum whilst I wad picking him up to take him home though! Just me, then!

My boys have been known to give me the cold shoulder when I've been away

I've had some kids who really loved to lick the people... I think it's part affection and part your skin tastes salty.

Then we had Tomie, who used to try to eat us all the time. She was a nibbler, if you let her give your some kisses she would inevitably try to take a bite at some point.
