Strange Behaviour From My Boys.

[didipiggywiggly]

I have two male piggys from same litter and have been with me approx 8 months so they so they are adolescents now with some teen angst. This is displayed in the hutch / run area. They squeak, rumble, bum wag, chatter of teeth Tec. Fudge seems more dominant over toffee. Tonight during lap time my hubby had toffee and I fudge. Fudge escaped my lap rushed a cross sofa and got on hubby s next to toffee. I thought their would be a riot. But no! Peace prevailed, they snuggled down and sat like book ends for about 20mins. Fudge occasionally sniffling and licking/ kissing toffee ear! - can someone explain that turn around of behaviour?

I wouldn't be worried! My 2 boys will never cuddle together, have the odd chase and chatter pretty much every day. The ONLY time that they snuggle and cuddle is during lap time - they will lie completely down (or splat out!) learning on each other, resting on the other etc. I imagine it is because lap time is unfamiliar to them, with strange sounds, smells and sensations. Being next to each other is a sense of comfort and something familiar x You have some good friends there

How big is their hutch? If it is too small it could be causing them to get grumpy.

My boys rarely snuggle so don't worry!

That's wonderful! I wish my piggies were like that. Fudge may have just had a change of attitude. My boys rarely cuddle together, and I used to be worried, but I guess they are just like humans. Sometimes they can have sudden mood swings!

I had to take the pictures because I couldn't believe it myself! However back.in there 3 storey hutch with own 3 x3 attached floor space , they are at it again: rumbles, complaints, chasing and teeth chattering etc. They can't live on my lap forever - I'd never get any housework done
