ticklish?

[ILoveGilbertTheGuineaPig]

today i was cuddling with gilbert and he spazzed out when i scratched him in a certain spot. he kept purring and like popcorning on my lap. his head was shaking from having his popcorning seizures. then suddenly he ran off my lap and kept purring though. do you think he LIKED it or do you think he was ticklish? or what? cause everytime i hit that spot he has his popcorning seizures.!{:|

where was it? Maybe just a spasm thing. If he was purring then probably liked it!

it was the area in front of his hind legs on his left side

Sometimes when they have mites (can be picked up from hay) they react like this. Also, a lot of piggies just don't like to be touched in that area (maybe like when we have areas that are extra ticklish). When I groom Pedro, I have to do that bit last as he twiches around everywhere and there's no hope of going near him with the brush after that!
