Piggy conga line?

[PigglePuggle]

My piggies have recently started doing an adorable conga line thing where they line up nose to bum and trundle up and down like a piggy train, today we had Clover, Puggle and Blod doing this, up and down the cage and through a new fleecy tunnel, just after we'd poop scooped the cage, do anyone else's piggies do this? Any idea why? I wonder if its partly because Blod doesnt see too well and likes to follow Clover or Piggle around if the furniture has changed a bit, and Piggle just thinks its a great game because she loves to have her nose up the other piggy's bums

Mine do this sometimes after a cage clean, when free roaming or when they get home from a vet trip p and F were conga lining when they got back from the vets this morning like they were checking they were actually home and hadn't had to spend the day at the vets again so they had to stick together

A new tunnel is always cause for a bit of a piggy conga.
In our house we call this game 'Tunnel-Tunnel'

I miss my little piggy trains up and down the living room, now that I no longer have a big group and a designate piggy room.

They are so adorable, aren't? It is the way piggies move through the undergrowth to and from their feeding grounds along tunnels/pathways nose to nose, making the chuntering sound to signal to everypig that they are still there and that all is OK. It's one of those old instincts that even thousands of years of domestication haven't killed off. In the lead is usually one of the top piggies of the group - unless the top piggy doesn't want to take the lead and delegates it to somepig else.
