Rumbling Boys!

[Lemmy]

I thought my pigs were purring but according to this article it's actually rumbling

It also says that's the mating sound though? But I 100% have two boys. I'm guessing he is just practicing but wanted to check it doesn't mean something else!

It's a very cute sound, kind of like gizmo pre midnight snack

It's a mating or a dominance sound of :"I'm top piggy here." In your case it's the dominance sound not mating lol

I have two boars and one of them, Podrick Payne, rumbles all of the time at his cagemate. Pigs will happily hump each other even if they're both boys. It doesn't always matter which part of them either. I've had to cut boar glue out of the hair on the side of one of my pigs before!

MY boy Higgins rumbles at my feet.. His brother Gibson rumbles every time he goes in and out of his hidey, and whenever he sees Higgins eating..! And Higgins humps Gibson's face... Boys eh?!
