Hey, folks.
I have had two sows for the last 48 hours or so. They will take green peppers and lettuce from my hands but also sometimes suddenly bolt or even just bolt at the sight of me sometimes.
I know that’s not unusual and when they do I usually take it as my cue that they need a little space or that I need to be slower.
The thing is when they bolt into a box or under a pocket at the end of the fleece they immediately start purring, which I had assumed would be something they’d do when they’re content (and not, like, terrified of big-scary-owner-guy).
Am I misinterpreting the purring? Does it mean something else? Some kind of self-soothing?
Would love to hear what you all think.
Thanks.
