I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this up.

But I've noticed that Odie has a weird greasy feeling and round spot only right above his "poop area".

I checked it, and didnt really know what to make of it. Was wondering if your all piggies have/have had this before? If not what can you make of this?

Is it something I should worry about?
I thought that perhaps it was only an area that gets dirty when he sits? :{

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry the pictures are so tiny, they were taken with my super small phone. If you need better ones I will try and take them.
 
Yup it's his grease gland :)
Poor Odie he'll be most insulted that you played with his butt :))
Hey looks like he's gaining weight too bless him x)
 
Lol, I didnt mean to but I was worried. >.< And he has gained some weight. :p :))
 
Hey at least you asked, some people wouldn't have bothered and not worried, you're best to ask lots of questions and you learn that way :)
Odie's a lucky boy to have you as his mummy and caring so much x)

No problem at all! I didn't either until the other day when someone posted about it on here. Mine don't seem to have any kind of issue with it...out of the 9 of them you'd think one would.

I have no idea! 5 of them are under 2 months old....and 3 of those 5 are only 3 weeks old :)) so LOTS of babies! Luckily I will get some breathing room when 2 of the babies go to their new home in a few weeks!

The 2 boys are in the TV room and next to the kitchen and they drive me bonkers when I open the fridge and its like a mini symphony! rolleyes :))

Let's just say that 7 will be a good number. :))
 
Hehehe thats so adorable!

Well best of luck to you and your little ones. :))
And bless you for taking them all in and so tiny hehe. ♥

I know, when we first had Odie, he was squeeking and squeeking, then Patchy came and he would let him do all the work lol.
After Patchy passed away, Odies been having to do his own work to food. :p lol.
