Funny things your gp has done or does

[Little Piglets]

My eldest sow, while her pups were about 3-4 weeks old and still be hounded by them, would go up to use one of the water bottles, and while drinking, a pup would try and muscle in on the bottle. I'd hear a loud shriek, look over, and mom was still drinking away. After some time, I finally saw what she was doing. While drinking, she'd "push away" the incoming pup with her front paw w/o missing a beat. This would cause the pup to freak out. At least one of her pups seemed to have learned to use a front paw in a similar manner, pushing away my finger sometimes while petting her chin.

In my boar cage, they have a cardboard house and a separate hammock, spaced apart a bit. So one or the other is either in the house, and other is in the hammock, etc.. The younger/newer boar figured out he could bite on the lip of a food bowl, and drag it. Guessing the older boar might have claimed the bowl, and younger one is trying to pull it to a more advantageous location. Anyhow, on several occasions, I started seeing the bowl pulled right up to the entrance of the house (has a front/rear entrance) and left there. Around the same time, I noticed the entrance had been nibbled to death around the same area the bowl was hitting it (bowl is very shallow at roughly one inch tall). Thought that was really funny to see.

When I give medicine to Farley pig he does the same thing and uses his paw to push my hand or the syringe away. It’s really cute.
