Has anyone got any piggies that don't tweek?

My Cookie is one of them. She doesn't tweek for her food but she goes come up to her cage and nearly sits in her bowl when waiting for some or getting my attention.
I made her listen to some guinea pigs tweeking on some Youtube videos today and one other time but she doesn't respond, though she can hear them because her eyes go wide and her ears prick up.
Maisey is the one that tweeks for food. And i think she speaks for Cookie too.
She does do a moaning noise though sometimes when she is out. But she doesn't 'tweek, tweek'
I have only once heard Cookie tweek and it was so loud and she sounded like a donkey and we were so shocked lol but she hasn't tweeked like that in ages. Do you think Cookie's just a shy piggie? or that she was self-conscious of that tweek that she doesn't want to do it again?

I have one that doesn't say anything called Eccles. He is a very calm an laid back pig but very little for his age. (He is full grown and looks nine months old) He does have a wheek you do have to listen carefully and have him on your knee but when he is with the herd you cannot hear him.

Not sure why he is like this, he is happy enough maybe because he is so laid back he doesn't feel the need to sing for his supper! :))
 
my max hardly every dose either only if he really need to go potty or he is in really pain which isnt much(he nromally can hold is wee till i put him back
 
Oh boy my girls wheek all of the time! pretty much whenever I move near them they'll start up, probably in the hopes of food even if food is still in their little dishes haha

 
Bertie used to wheek for food but after arrival of Finlay he's calmed right down. Finlay has condtionned himself to wheek like a possessed devil every time he hears the fridge door (that squeaks) even when he's diving into his supper! Any plastic or paper bag send him doolali and he's started wheeking at the newspaper and magazine pages! :{@)
Back to the point, Bertie used to with his previous partner Rene but not anymore. maybe it's a hierarchy thing? Anyhow, I'm not worried because he eats his half anyway and he's got non-verbal ways of making me and his daddy understand that feeding time is overdue!:))
 
Prince Harry rarely makes a sound, occasionally if he's unhappy annd thats it. He does stick his head right into the air though when he hears the food bag. :)) My friend jokes that its because he can't get a word in for Sparky his cage mate. Quite frankly I don't know Prince Harry puts up with living with that racket and been constantly ran over by Sparky
 
One of my new piggies Poppy wheeks sooooo loud at everything that goes on in the kitchen cos she thinks it will mean she gets her veggies :) The hoover, washing machine, tumble dryer, putting the tap on, taking the lid off the bread bin, opening the fridge, making the pack ups, infact if I walk past the run she wheeks really loud. She gets totally spoilt and she knows exactly how to get my attention :)
