Piggie Ears

[DocDolittle]

Just curious, my piggie likes to have his ears rubbed, and often times they change temperature, as in they can be really hot or quite cool. Is that there body temperature rising or what? Just curiosity.

The temp goes up when they're sleeping on their ears, and it goes down when they're running around. My pigs sometimes pull on or groom one another's ears, too, so I picked up the habit. They love it!

 

[DocDolittle]

Oh, that's so cute. I was just curious about why their little piggie ears change temperature. Thanks for the info!

 

[mncavylover]

Yeppers! I thought it was cute too--Chut pulled on Pig's ear so hard once that he almost fell over! That was really something.

 

[DocDolittle]

Hah, that must have been amusing. I don't really get to see that kind of behavior because I could never keep Cocoa and Pebbles together, hopefully if I get another boar, those two will get along.

 

[mncavylover]

Ok, I sure hope so too!

Whenever I pet mine, their ears go really hot.
