Piggies rubbing their lips on stuff :)

I often see my and others’ Guinea pigs rubbing their upper lips on all kinds of things, seemingly always as a way of investigating/identifying the stuff lmao. I can’t find any info on it, but I highly suspect it’s similar to a blind person feeling up an item to tell what it is.

Feel free to confirm or deny this if you have a better idea of what it means

If what you are seeing is what I am picturing my piggies do; then yes they are smelling the items and investigating them
