Hiya,
I’ve got three adorable girl pigs, who I got from a rescue centre a few months ago. As far as I can tell they are happy and healthy, but some of their behaviour makes me wonder if they didn’t get socialised properly when they were babies. I was wondering if anyone else has experience with this?
They don’t groom themselves very well, and often have wee around their bums. It generally goes after a few days, but comes back again.
They also don’t show each other any affection, or groom each other, and generally they don’t interact much at all. They have started grooming me when I hold them, but they often seem quite confused about why they are doing this, like it’s an instinct they really don’t understand .
I’ve also had to work quite hard to teach them to play, because until I did they would just eat and sleep, and never seem to do anything else.
They have been checked over by a vet, and they eat, drink and sleep plenty, so I’m not worried about their health. I’m mostly just wondering how normal these things are, and if there’s anything else I should be doing with them.
