What are they doing?

[PiggiePooh]

After a 15 minute popcorning session (7 piggies throwing themselves around the cage equals mucho noise ), Elvis settled down for a rest and 2 of the girls Muffin and Truffles settled either side of him. He lifted his head upwards and they appeared to be grooming him. It looked like they were licking him under his chin. Were they grooming him? If not what were they doing?

I think that this is a sign of affection as Eleanor and Eliza do it quite regular. It is really cute to watch x

It was so lovely to watch, its good to be the King

Definitely

Our Leo occasionally "washes" Pepe's ears and gently tugs on them after they've had a popcorning fit or a bit of a rumble at each other, I see it as a sign of affection and bonding process as Pepe sits there quite content and appears to relish the attention!

Dizzy has been assiduously licking all the spilled medicine of his chin - and Llewi LOVED it!

Being piggie-cuddled by two girls at once, Elvis must feel in boy-Heaven! Lucky guy!

I'd say Elvis is a lucky fella
