Question
Aloha. I have a little 6 month old pot bellied pig. She has begun licking alot and doing a smacking her lips sort of sound. I dont feel anything stuck in her mouth. Could if be that she is teething?

Answer
 Welcome to the world of pigs!                                              It could be, although it is a little early for teething. Most pigs do grinding when they are teething at age one year.
But we have heard of "licking" pigs.
Guess you have one!
