Question
QUESTION: is it usual for a G pig to bite itself and scurry everywhere she runs in and out of her house and when i pick her up and put her in my lap she makes a sound like bubbles can you explain???

ANSWER: Hi Danny

The biting itself part suggests to me that something is bothering your pig on her skin. Get this checked at a vet.

The noise on your lap sounds like purring, kinda like a cat makes.

QUESTION: i went 2 the vet and he said ther was nothing wrong so im clueless??

Answer
Hi

In that case the next most obvious cause of the biting is out of boredom. I would advise you spend plenty of time with your pig and see if the behaviour improves.

Alternatively, if she is bored, she would benefit from having a piggy friend.
