What is that thing I thik its called the sweat gland by they butt where a tail would be? What exactly is it? Do i need to clean it or do anything?
 
depends on the piggie freddie is clean and dont need to touch him but baz he is bad and have to keep washing his i use a bit of washing up liquid it breaks up the grease, and when have a proper wash i use easirinse shampoo with cedarwood and lemongrass essential oils from gorgeous guineas
 
Its a grease gland. Some boars are prone to having messy ones which can be uncomfortable for the pig if left as it pulls at the hair & skin. I use Swarfega which works a treat :)
