I was wondering whether anyone elses pigs do this? Athena used to do it to cleo and you could actually hear her sucking cleo's ear. I thought once Cleo had gone this would maybe stop but it appears she's starting to do it to Sandy and Pepper as well. I had never seen cleo do it to athena and I haven't seen sandy or pepper do it either. The pigs seem to enjoy it being done to them though!
 
I don't know if it's the same thing but Pebbles and Wilma lick behind the other one's ears. I think they are grooming one another... :).
 
My two nibble on each others ears, they kinda close their eyes when its being done to them and then give a little wheek when they have had enough :)
 
My girls have always groomed each other with ear licking. It is lovely to see piggies interacting in this way.

That sounds exactly like ours! I just thought it looked a bit peculiar when she was doing it, I assumed it was some sort of grooming thing but the others never seem to do it so wasn't sure.
