Is it Kisses?

We have just added a third buckling after we lost one of our baby boys last week. He is 6 weeks old. He does this thing where he puts his mouth on our mouths and wiggles his lips. He doesn’t try to nibble or anything but he almost breaths our breath and lips our lips and he’ll do it for a pretty long time. Like if we don’t distract him he’ll just keep lipping us. Does anyone have any insight into what he is doing? The woman we bought him from said his grandmother does the same thing. Has anyone heard of this or experienced this? If so is it bad to let him do it? I tried to do some research but couldn’t find anything about this behavior. Thanks in advance for the insight!

He’s a cutie! We’ve had buckling do the same thing a few years ago. Not sure what it’s from, other then mating instinct

[mention]Goatastic43 [/mention] did he do it unto adulthood? Did you let him do it? It’s so darn cute I’m tempted to let him do it but I don’t know what it is and I don’t want to develop bad behaviors. It feels like bonding but I could be totally projecting.

He only did it a few times and we only had him until he was 3 months old, so I don’t know. It definitely was cute!
