Some pigs enjoy rooting (digging with their noses). Some like to dig down into the dirt, where it's cooler, to cool off on a hot summer's day. Many of them also coat themselves with mud, to cool off. Tilly is one such pig! She loves digging deep enough to find cool spots, and mud if it's above 85°F. However, our other pigs don't like digging or mud, at all! One of them doesn't even like pools! Pigs, like humans, are individuals. Hope this helps. ❤
I bet it's pretty refreshing and Comfortable for him I've had Dogs that loved to dig into the cooler damp soil maybe it even smells good to him 😊
