Did this wee madam chatter at me to hurry up!?

[Ruth1]

I was chopping their veg. They are oi oi oiing at me as piggies do and this wee madam comes to the corner of the pen, as close as she can get to me and chatters at me! No fear - just with a wee upturned face and chatters right AT me!

Is that a thing?!

 

[Lorcan]

Yup. It's a thing. Say goodbye to any peace and quiet you had left still!

 

[piggieminder]

Yes, it's a thing, my boars do it to us. Doesn't matter how much we hurry we are still way too slow!

Guinea pig chatter translation: "Hurry up you lazy slave! I gave you a warm house, a place to sleep, and this is all the thanks I get?!?!"

 

[Betsy]

My Rainbow Piggy The Ever Beautiful Betsy chattered her teeth if food wasn't delivered on time by the Waitress (me!). Shy Little Meg has clearly learnt the behaviour off Betsy and teeth chatters occasionally which she never did before.

 

[Ruth1]

Well I NEVER! Cheeky wee furry wee ruffin. Chattering from her pen at me! I think I love her even more now!

Thanks for the info everyone!

 

[eileen]

You have become a true slave !

 

[Abisquartet]

My Toffee does the same to me if I don’t give him his morning strokes! As soon as I’m through the living room door if I so much as go to the kitchen and make breakfast before seeing him he’s chattering

I work from home and my study is next to the piggy room.
They know when it’s time for afternoon veggies and the wheeking starts - increasing in volume as the seconds pass.
If I want any chance to work the piggies have to be fed immediately!

They’re worse than the dog!

 

[Lorcan]

I've lived with dogs, cats and rabbits. The guinea pigs have always been the worst of the lot.

 

[AidaB]

Every morning, me “Morning, did you sleep well?”
H&H “Chchchchch”.
Me “Did you have a bad night?!“
H&H “Chchchchch”.
Me” I am sorry you feel that way! Would you like some more hay?”
H&H…. happy munching sounds, and peace.

 

[Ruth1]

Oh my goodness, and today we have the first ever climbing of the bars by both! “Give us the PEA FLAKES! And another pea flake! And ANOTHER PEA FLAKE! Oi! Oi! Oi! Where you going with the pea flakes hoomin?!”

Cheeky wee glypes! Youse did warn me

 

[Bill & Ted]

Give me my grub and make it snappy! Wheek wheek!

 

[Lorcan]

I mean on the one hand, it's great news, they're getting more comfortable with you! On the other, well...who needs ears anyway, right?

Ano! I’m loving it at the minute and truth be told, probably encouraging their demanding behaviour, because they are so flippin adorable. A year down the line tho, or 3 or 5……. I’ll be sat in a corner crying….. “make it stop! Somebody make it stop!”

 

[Lorcan]

I've had three days of non stop screeching. My keyworker asked me today if they were okay because of the unholy racket they were making. I told him they were just looking for food. He asked if I was sure, I said yes. He asked how I could be certain, could I tell the difference.

Yes, yes I can. It's food or nothing with the goblins.

 

[Adelyn]

It's food or nothing with the goblins.

Yep. No veggies, no sleep at night! I have to toss them a small piece of lettuce to get up the stairs for bed. Their cage is next to the stairway

 

[Ruth1]

My friend was over for lunch the other day and we sat watching them. She thinks they look like something you would buy in a toy shop that runs on batteries . If only the batteries could be removed for a bit of quiet .

You think they’re sleeping and then you move. “Oik?”
