hi everyone, just a random question, when herbie is cuddling his momma sometimes he seems to try to nibble her chin or nose or lips. Or he holds her lip in his teeth but doesn't bite... I have no idea why, he doesn't do it with anyone else... Does anyone else recognise this?
 
Sounds like he is power grooming his mummy. Feel loved! ;)
 
Lol he does love his mommy... We get piggie kisses but he only nibbles his mommy.

What is power grooming exactly?
 
Power grooming is usually gentle ear nibbling on a subordinate or new guinea pig. It translates as "I want you to be a member of the group I am leading".

Perhaps his mommy is using a face cream that he is finding irresistible?
