Hi, yuk, isn't it? All my pigs do this and none sit in the bowl, I think it happens when they are popcorning about, making a mess. My Elvis is the worst culprit funny enough!

Normal i think?! Piggies can eat their poo at times too i believe, to redigest the nutrients they didn't get the first time around (I know grim!) so its nothing dangerous or worrying.... 98) 98)

Coprophagy/ caecotrophy I think its called, but isn't it softer nutrient filled poos they eat straight from their bums at night like rabbits do?

yeah they do eat them straight from their bums, because as teabag said there are some undigested nutrients still there i think it's called cophraphilia. literally meaning lover of poo
