To add to my thread yesterday about guinea pigs coming when you call their names, I should have mentioned this too.
Whenever my Jojo is out of the cage only, I just put out both of my palms flat in front of him and he will climb right up to them.
He actually started doing this on his own, I discovered it one day when I was playing around with him, I put out my hands and he hopped right up.
I don't know why he does it, I never offered him a treat to do so or anything that stimulated this trick.
To make him learn his name I would always offer treats and be talking to him gently using his name and he picked up on that, and I would offer treats to make him come running up to my chest.
This one, he just learned on his own, I think it is pretty cool, I don't even have to bother him when he doesn't want to be picked up, I just put out my hands.
Only works out of the cage though, inside the cage he just feels like staying home I guess lol.
Does anyone else piggie do this too? What is the motivation behind it?
I think he just wants me to hold him, because, as I said I never offered him treats or anything to do this, he just picked it up on his own.
He definitely isn't a shy pig though, so that plays a huge role in his personalty of being adventurous.
He actually tried tricking me one day to put him back in the cage!
When I first got him I would let him chill on my chest, and every time he would have to eat his little sac thing, I would pick him up and put him back in his cage when I knew he was about to do it.
I stopped putting him back once I realized he just eats those and if he needs to poop or pee, he will bite on my shirt.
So, about a month and a half ago he was on my chest and he got into stance to eat the sac, he looked at me for like 3 seconds, I didn't put him back.
While I was watching what he was doing, he than reached under, grabbed NOTHING and started to chew! LOL, HE ACTUALLY TRIED TO TRICK ME TO PUT HIM BACK IN THE CAGE, if you can believe it hahahah. He's a pretty clever pig.
I posted two videos with him coming up into my hands, both in a row, he does it every time. Such a cute pig. lol :<>
