Boss pig eating other pigs hair!

My first instinct was to stop it and separate them but the one being chomped on seems to like it!

He lay down in front of boss pig and closed his eyes when boss pig started. No agitation, no noises, he seemed really relaxed.

He has 47 layers of waves and curls so hard to tell how much has been eaten and certainly no bald patches.

They get on well enough - usual occasional bickering but never any fighting or anything to worry about.

Should I worry about this? Google says yes but google also says no. So I came to the font of all knowledge that is MN! Grin

Nessa (our younger pig) sometimes 'trims' Sadie's fringe. Like yours, Sadie doesn't seem to mind, although I do as the result is an uneven mess! Ness also often licks Sadie.
Neither seem to come to any harm, I suppose it all depends on frequency and which hair is being eaten.

I am sure other pig owners with more experience will be able to say more.

Thanks, East!

Will just keep an eye on them and make sure he doesn't make his poor brother bald or start harassing him to let him do it.
