Hi. One of my piggies has been making a rumbling noise, whilst walking really slowly,then after a couple seconds moves as normal. Not noticed before. Is it a toilet issue?.Everything seems normal.She''s a very quiet piggy with occasional rumble at our other one but this is a bit strange. Any help much appreciated
 
It is called rumble strutting, and is perfectly normal behaviour.
Some piggies do it a lot, and some never do.
It can be part of a dominance display, or simply a way of letting everyone in the cage know how great you are.
Our male Eddi does this at least 50 times a day :lol:
 
It was the slow walking bit almost like ready to pounce..lol. Then speeding off as usual. Could she be in season even?
 
It's normal dominance behavior... if it's a sow, she could be in season, as this sometimes makes dominance behavior more noticeable. She's okay... just showing off!
