Hello again

I'd just like to say before I start that I am so glad and grateful that I found this forum, I have discovered lots of new information and had some brilliant help and advise from other users here and I am really sorry if I appear to be forever asking questions. :red

Anyway on spot cleaning my 3 piggies this morning I noticed a thick creamy substance in the corner of one of the hides with all the poo's, they seem to like pooping in the corners! :))
It was very very smelly, I can only explain the smell as being like the smell you get when you go to a farm/zoo and visit the sheep/cows etc.
I am not completely sure which piggy is producing this substance but I think it maybe Nugget my male, the other two are females.
I moved another one of the hides into the middle of the cage so I could clean where it had been and all three of them went into it, when I moved it back there was more of this stuff, fresher this time but again all three went in so I can't be sure who's doing it mallethead

Does anyone have any idea what this might be? all piggies seem perfectly fine, behaviour as normal, eating as normal etc etc

Thanks and apologies for the ramble! :red

It could well be from his scent glands, it does have a distinctive smell, as the name implies!
