Hi there! I was wondering if anyone could answer this strange question. When ever I bring out my two boars for lap time they get really comfy and lay down on me. Does this mean they are relaxed?
But the weirdest thing is woody 9/10 always wees on me, I don’t know if it’s just habit or because he can’t hold it very well? Doesn’t anyone know if it’s a cause for concern or if he’s telling me he doesn’t like me?

My other boar who lives alone doesn’t do this and neither does woodys housemate buzz.

I was just a bit worried

many thanks!
 
It is a compliment! He likes you, he is relaxed sitting on you, and would like you to know that you are his friend. Don't worry! It is great that they enjoy lap time so much.

Some pigs prefer to hold it until you put them down and that is okay too. Some will nip or squirm to let you know they need to pee. But the most relaxed personalities will just pee on you. They do sell absorbent "lap pads" for this purpose, but towels work too.
 
Oh and also, some pigs just drink and pee a lot more than others so variance is normal. Chill vibes + thirsty pigs = a wet lap.

Parsley is a good buddy of mine, she pees on me almost every time I pick her up for anything, no matter how brief. 😂
 
They usually pee on you when they are really relaxed. Some very polite and considerate piggies will “back up” and pop their bum over the edge of your lap and wee on your sofa instead. Others will shuffle and give you a polite warning that they are going to pee. And the most considerate ones will give you a sign like nipping and pulling on your clothes until you pop them back in their cage so they can pee.
 
Peeing freely is definitely a compliment reserved for trusted family only, I remember Blodwen going to the specialist vets an hour's drive away and the pee pad in her carrier was completely dry... then as soon as piggy daddy got her out and gave her a snack she let loose a bladder full all over the lap of his work trousers :)
