I'm sure I'm not the only one.
At dinner time, I'm facing away from the piggies making their veggies but can hear their desperate wheeks 🤣
They all sound totally different to me. Daisy is super high-pitched, Poppet sounds lower but also has that baby sound (if that makes sense?), and Oscar sounds deeper and more manly 😅

They also sound different when they make their exploratory/happy "bloop bloop" noises 😂

What do your piggies sound like?

Oscar seems so unimpressed in this photo 🤣
 
Mine have very different voices, I can usually tell who's talking even from another room. I can also tell who's drinking by the very different bottle techniques. Slow and steady to machine gun! Caspy drinks a lot and makes a loud gluggy sound when he swallows as well as a quick rattle on the bottle.
 
I can tell them apart... it does help that I often seem to have one pig who 'speaks for the group' and the other is quieter. Right now Leela makes a soft twittering noise when she's happy and seldom wheeks... Tomie's 'happy noise' sounds like wet hands rubbing a balloon and she talks a LOT and a really shrill wheek. She's a loud one! LOL!
 
My piggies also have different voices. One is a bit more high pitched than the other. You know when you're tuning a radio and it makes these high pitched squeaky sounds? One of my piggies sounds like that sometimes so if I hear some kind of radio squeaking I know exactly who it is 😆
 
Tallulah has the most distinctive voice, and the loudest! She never, ever stops talking, we have the fire-alarm wheek for food, the constant clucking chatter, and she chirps and chirps, she has a whole repetoire of chirping songs like a little musical blackbird :) her husboar Ollie hasnt really spoken since they got married over 2 years ago!
And my lovely old ladies have very distinctive croaky broken wheekers that are a bit out of tune :)
 
I can never tell mine apart either! Olive is always the most confident and will run up to the front of the cage where Mabel will hide in the shadows as she’s very timid so the only indication I have is the volume of the noises, they do have quite different rumbling sounds and it’s usually mabel who is rumbling. You’re definitely not the only one😂
 
Kiki is definitely the loudest, Hector is a fairly quiet boy and let’s Kiki do most of the wheeking. Ginger has a gorgeous bubbly wheek, while Posh is more high pitched. My old rainbow boy Ted had a reedy broken wheeker all his life but it didn’t stop him demanding his breakfast well supported by his brother Bill
