Anybody else have a Guinea Pig/Pigs who are still child like at 27 months old? ๐Ÿ˜… That's how our Bramble is, he makes us laugh all the time with his antics and we absolutely adore him! ๐Ÿฅฐ:love:

He lives right next door to his two cage mates, who we adopted a year ago, after both Brambles original cage mates had sadly died, but Bramble seems so happy living side by side with them, he pop corns so many times a day and makes these little hiccup kind of sounds when he does it too! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜… He's forever rumbling at them and watching them from his shelf and if they dare move, he's onto them, whinging at them, and rumbling and strutting up and down his shelf, as if they are in HIS territory! ๐Ÿคฃ It's just so funny how childish he is still, especially compared to his two cage mates who are probably roughly only a few months older than him! He charges around his cage, headbutting his (moveable) boxes and tunnels around and out of the way and then he's go into his wooden arch (which Dad has to make up all nicely for him everyday, with nice fleece lining all along the top so he's comfortable to lay on it and watch his friends from!) and get behind it and headbutt it out of place, which does annoy Dad somewhat, as he takes so long to fix it in place for him! ๐Ÿคฃ

Does anybody else have a pig like this?

Another funny (though of course it wasn't at the time!๐Ÿ˜Ÿ) story with Bramble is that, when we first got him and his brother, at 8 weeks old, we went in to clean out their cage (they were originally living in our neighbours utility room as we didn't think, at the time, that we had enough room in our place for their cage!:roll:) and we had a partitioned bit in this cage, and Bramble panicked when we tried to clean out around him and went to run through the partitioned bit, to get away from us, and got his head stuck through the bars! So Dad had to prize his head out (thankfully he was ok!).....But ever since then Dad puts on a voice for Bramble sometimes and says, "well Dad did try to pull my head off once"! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

What a lovely piggy full of mischief. It must be the name. Miss Bramble is very cheeky and fun. She has a happy go lucky nature about her and hates the thought of being picked up and cuddled but enjoys a cuddle and purrs the whole time except for when the dreaded comb comes out! She has learnt to endure the daily morning groom as she gets coriander afterwards. I keep telling her that if I didn't comb out her locks every morning she would end up in a tangled mess. I don't think she believes me though!

Miss Bramble is also Shop Steward of the GPU (Guinea Pig Union) and gives advice to piggies who need assistance with Slave training.

Sounds like Bramble and Miss Bramble would make a lovely couple! ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿ˜…

Bramble also HATES being picked up and runs at 1000mph around the cage to get away from us, even though he's been here the longest! He doesn't mind sitting on our lap so much now though ๐Ÿฅฐ especially if the other two boys have been on our laps first! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Miss Bramble's Mum, Misty, keeps giving her the lecture that boars are only after one thing which is how she got into "trouble" and that Bramble has to keep herself "nice". Miss Bramble, being sweet and innocent, doesn't understand what her Mum is going on about! (I think secretly Miss Bramble may want to elope ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿคซ)
