Today I noticed that my pig Poppy doesnt like either of her back legs being touched (but underneath), she didnt squeal but it made her jump and looked rather uncomfortable. I checked my other piggie, Penelope so see if she had the same reaction but she didn't even move.

So now I'm wondering if Poppy just doesnt like being touched there (as its both legs), but in the past I have noticed from time to time that when she grooms herself, when it comes to near her back legs she jumps right into the air.

She does throw herself around the cage alot (she popcorns like CRAZY) but now I'm not sure if she needs to go to the vets.

She walks, runs and plays fine and never seems to be in any discomfort other than when I accidently touched under her back legs

So I'm a *little* confused!
 
How old is she?
Have you checked for skin problems eg fungal, mites or lice?
 
Shes about 8 months old, and there doesnt seem to be any problems with the skin :{
