id say yes,as when i was getting them to take from my hand at 1st they only came to me then the others ,we all had cucumber but only came to those they trusted x
 
oh yes i think mine do, soon as i walk in and shout jack jack he comes shooting out and sits at front of cage wheeking, my baby boy bertie is still a bit shy but is getting better and startin to follow jack now.x)
 
definatly...
most of mine see me as a food source... so they must recognise me... as they WHEEK when i come out with foodies...
and also when i was hand rearing a baby piggie he was blind... and if i called him he would come running over too me... :))

Guineas 100% know their humans. Charlotte only wants cuddles from me. When my boyfriend holds her she is ok until i come along then she will jump off him onto me and snuggle under my chin even though I am the one who baths her and cuts her nails which she hates. Rosie would never wee on me. I held her for an hour and a half once trying to get a wee sample in a dish and the second I handed her over to my boyfriend she did the biggest wee ever. Annabelle and Poppy like my boyfriends mum more than me as she always has food and never tries to pick them up.

Aww that is adorable!^)
 
I agree, they recognise sight and smell.. and sound. My girls start wheeking when I open the back door, or if the dog goes outside as the tag on her collar jingles. They definitely have favourite humans too as if they are in the run and I stand one end and my husband the other you can almost guarantee who will go and take food from him and who will take it from me :))
 
mine live in a C&C in the kitchen and are really used to being in the middle of everything and are really confident, yet the minute anyone outside my immediate family comes to the house and goes near the cage they all scarper for cover and act like timid little piggies!
 
If I go to the bin outside I have to remember not to talk, if I do then a chorus of wheeks happen. They only love me for the food :)) If I walk in the shed Flower and Nancy are always over, especially when I'm sweeping out, sweeping out = food afterwards. They just haven't worked out that sitting in the dustpan makes it take longer rolleyes
 
Rod definitely knew who his mummy was!

He would only ever come to me when he was called
Whenever I came home from being out, I would call him and I would hear him purr and popcorn as I walked up the stairs to get him. He would never do that for my ex OH.

And another strange thing, sorry to talk about this if there are any guys reading but he would re-act differently to me at certain times of the month :red He was so in tune with me and my scent that he would behave differently with me at THAT time of the month. Anyone else notice that with their boars?
 
Yup, i agree too. My girls are really confident and out and about but as soon as anyone new comes to visit they hide away rolleyes i'm forever telling my mum how confident they are but every time she comes round they hide so she doesn't believe me! We are the lucky ones who get to see what they are really like as most of my friends think that they don't do much! So wrong :)) !

I will have to keep an eye out for this, Very interesting.

My boys def know me and my hub. When people visit they hide as they dont recognise the scent or voice. When we're alone with them they are happy to play and be out in the open. The baby wheeks when he heres my husbands key in the front door. I wonder if it's because James always gives them breakfast before he leaves the house, maybe he associates the noise of the door with a meal time :))
