Lol you're funny :). I don't let my pigs lick my lips, well I try not too Kitty will sneak one in from time to time.

The only thing I know is. I believe we can pass on a cold to them. So if not feeling well I would limit holding or at least kissing and make sure to wash your hands before touching them or their food if you're sick.

Maybe someone can confirm this @helen105281

They can't get our colds but it is not wise to kiss them when you have one. It is best to follow strict hygiene when you have a cold and only hold them when absolutely necessary. I am forever using my F10 handgel when I have a cold.
 
is it wise to admit i cuddle my girls & i am guilty of putting their ears between my lips- not biting, not even nibbling, just a lil lip squeeze, they seem to like it & i can check if their ears are cold too, my old girl Ellie is always getting lippy ear squeezes :whistle: to check her ear temperature, especially when shes ill or it starts to get cooler out.

I wouldnt do it if i had a cold or bugs though yuk... they dont want my germs:eek:

There's no need to feel guilty of ear lipping, it's good piggy communication and won't hurt either of you. It is a good thread, the link earlier in this one, well worth reading and putting into practice. Guinea pigs communicate in a physical manner, so you have to get with the physical side of things to communicate with them properly. Enjoy nuzzling them behind the ears/by the shoulder too. They will enjoy it! I think one of my favourite things in the whole world is a piggy, happy and relaxed, telling me all about life and the universe during a snuggle.
