Sow Rumbling at Me

[BobaTheGuineaPiglet]

As the title says. Recently, my girl piggie has been rumbling at me. And today for the first time, she tried to climb on my hand while rumble strutting What does that mean!? This is new behavior from her.

Does she live with other piggies? How long have you had her? It sounds like she could be in season which is natural and nothing to worry about.

Strong Seasons


Strong pheromone output by both new boars or other sows in season can sometimes trigger several sows close enough in their oestrus cycle to spontaneously come into season, too, which results in some very lively times!

During the initial stage, sows coming into season tend to mainly chase and mount other sows just below her in the hierarchy (or lacking that, the sow just above in the rankins or a submissive or gentle husboar). They will only mate at the end of the season.

Here you can see Briallen chasing mainly her next lower ranked undersow...

Hi

How old is your sow and is she your only one?

If she is climbing on your hand, then she is experiencing a strong season. Sows will mount other sows or even a neutered boar companion in the hours before they become actually fertile and ready for sexual mating during a strong season.

Here are some videos.
