Hi.... I’m still learning how to interpret my piggies individual sounds!
This is noise they both usually make when they have laptike unless they fall asleep. I was worried they were scared, but their body language tells me otherwise so just wNted to check with people far more experienced than I!
 
That's contact noises, the chatter they use to let each other know where they are & keep in contact if they can't always see each other.

Just a hint of apprehension there, but talking is always a good sign. That is how they keep in contact with their group - youngsters are at their most vocal at the time they are most vulnerable to getting lost, injured or to predation. The chatter is a basically a constant status report of their whereabouts and wellbeing.
 
That’s good thanks. They do it whether they are both on my knee or just one of them is.... but they are not motionless, they run up my shoulder and will readily object to unwanted contact so hey are getting more confident every day.

They are just behaving like any normal youngster would when on the move. Be pleased!
 
Thanks for the reassurance. I am really pleased at their progress. They are just so gorgeous! I moved them into their new home last night, bought a Midwest with a view to adding another in an l shape once I save up! They pop corned all over it last night and again this morning!
