Hi
My young male piggy, Zorro, constantly licks me. Some instances when he does this is: When I greet him in the morning and throughout the day, when I spend time with him and when I hold him. I've checked his mouth, and his teeth, gums, and tongue look very normal. I'm certain that he has no dental issue, but why is he licking me all the time? Could it just be affection, or is he trying to tell me something else? :hmm:
-Thanks
 
Hi fellow Queenslander!

This could either be affection or he likes the taste of your hands 😂. My Daisy is like this as well. No need to worry, this is a normal behaviour 👍
 
I have had a couple of lucky pigs over the years too.
If his behaviour is otherwise normal then I wouldn't worry about it.
