Funny Head Bonking?

[Katy Felix]

I know piggies will bop things like blankets or hidies to make more room, but Cocoa just did it sideways onto his cage? He was outside of it, and only did a light bop twice. What does this mean, does he want it moved or is he sick or something? Maybe is he saying it's in the way or dirty? And it wasn't hard or anything, just "boop".

I can't quite picture what you mean, is there any chance you can post a video?

My pigs move things around with their heads. They'll lift up their snuggle sack so they can get inside, move a pile of hay to one side so then can get it, and Podrick has taken it upon himself to annoy me by knocking over their houses every day by lifting it up with his head.

It looks funny, but as they don't have hands, and if they did their arms would be a bit too short like a T-Rex, then they'll just shove things around with their head.

My pigs head bop me when I'm 'in their way' ! It's suprisingly strong!

Same here, or if they don't want to be stroked on the head, thank you! Not too sure why your piggie would do the behaviour you described though.
