Hi All,
As you know I am fairly new to being a piggie mummy.
Harry loves cuddles and lap time when I get him out the cage (he sniffs and comes up to me but when I hold hands out to scoop he runs)
I have a couple of questions and wondering if they mean anything;
- he eats his poop on me
- he lays flat on me when I pet him
- he yawns and grooms himself on me
- he explores around me
Here’s a few pics.
I’m hoping he is content and happy but 🤷‍♀️

Rolo is also happy to have some lap time but is much more fidgety. Will scramble round my neck. So I don’t have him on me for as long which makes me feel guilty as I feel I’ve started having a favourite.

Not many piggies like being picked up initially, their prey instinct always kicks in. But once settle on your lap they often settle well. Eating poop, grooming and laying flat across you are all signs he is relaxed and happy to be on your lap.
