During lap time Walter (white) was waddling from my lap to the Mister's and I noticed his grease gland was...pulsating? It seemed to pop out a little and then go back in. It seems to be normal now after a few hours of keeping an eye on his piggy bum. He doesn't seem to be bothered by anything (apart from Gus stealing parsley right out of his mouth) and it seems to have stopped.
Is this just a normal thing they do? He pooped right after, so I'm hoping it was just that.

Thanks :)
 
Are you sure it was his grease gland? My pigs run around with their sacs pulsating when showing dominance behaviour x
 
I really have no idea then! Hopefully someone else will x
 
It hasn't done it since, but he has squared up to Gus a few times today. Even had a little fight on the couch! Don't panic, no blood was shed and they both got a telling off and separated for a bit (they hate being separated and spend their time looking for each other).
Maybe it was just a dominance thing....fingers crossed! Thanks :)
