Ticklish?

Hello Guinea Pig Land,

I am about a month or so into having our piggies and noticed something interesting. Mia seems to have a ticklish/sensitive spot right before her back hip. As I pet/sctrach her she will begin to purr but as soon I hit that spot she will either quickly raise her leg or will jump and spin in the direction of her back leg. It almost resembles popcorning and she doesn't seem upset but I just want to make sure I'm not hurting her.

Brian

Re: Ticklish?

My Gizzy has the same spot!! It is also by her hip on her right hand side. She does not seem to mind me touching her there but she does jump up and spin as well but will lay right back down so I can continue to stroke her. When she stars falling asleep I like tickling her right there!

Re: Ticklish?

Kimi has ticklish feet. She'll lay with them flat out sometimes and leave herself wide open for a tickle attack!

Re: Ticklish?

Yoshi's the same way. Scratch that spot and he'll either spin around or lay out on his back/side with his feet stretched out purring.

Re: Ticklish?

I thought I had posted on here, but didn't. Hmm.

I like to pinch the bun-buns of Santino and that will send him flying around the room popcorning. But now I want to try that spot Tripiggies and everyone else mentioned! I am slowly learning the secrets of piggy fun!
