That Caecotroph Moment

[Pound Shilling & Pig]

We all know what a fright death napping can be but does anyone else a scare sometimes when they clock their piggy just before they pop their head under for a caecotroph snack? Doesn't matter how many years I've kept them for, this still sometimes happens. I will be watching them and spot someone sitting quietly, slightly hunched, with an odd expression on their face, like they're in a bit of discomfort. Alarm bells go off. Then said piggy reaches under for a poop treat! And we can all relax

I’ve had that moment in my lap and then had my hand licked

Oh, yes! Right up there with a sleeping piggy looking like they have just died and you are desperately looking for some slight breathing movements...
