Ok so I'm on my second pig and already he has a different personality to Billie so I'm learning new stuff daily
Already by the wheeking on my birthday we have established that Merlin is a more vocal pig
Last night he seemed to demonstrat that he is a more energetic pig as well but I have a question:
Last night Merls was running round the floor, popcorning and gently wheeking and generally being a nutter.
Then he stopped for breath and sat still except for these hiccup type movements
He did one every 2 seconds for about 40 seconds
My question is - were these indeed hiccups if pigs get them (Id guess at no as they cant vomit so i imagine have no means to hiccup) or were these much smaller excited movements (little static popcorns) or was he maybe having some kind of mild fit
My heart is telling me that poor old Merlin got a little over excited but what do you think / know?
