I have two male piggies. Scooby and Barnie. I got them just over two weeks ago. They are very sweet and cheeky and love cuddles stretching out and going to sleep on my lap. But scooby often wees. Barnie usually sits up and starts climbing around sometimes nibbles to show when he has had enough cuddles and wants to go for water/ toilet. But scooby doesn't always. Often, like yesterday laying all stretched out on his side with his head resting on my tummy and just started weeing. Although sometimes he does like a moon dance and slides along you back wards or starts to fidget but sometimes there are no signs at all. How can I provent this? Should I be looking for signs of any illness? Or is it just because he is a baby (around 8 weeks old) and just can't control it yet?

Please help

Almost certainly this is his age. In general pig don't like to wee on you, preferring their 'home' (this doesn't apply to poops, unfortunately - they leave those anywhere). Give him some time and he'll start to let you know more reliably. In the meantime towels are handy!
 
Thank you :) yeah always having towels with him poor thing. Unfortunately when people visit no one wants cuddles with the weeing piggy... It's ashame because he does enjoy his cuddles. But as long as he not poorly and will just grow out of it that puts my mind at ease :)
