Freddy piggle has developed the VERY irritating habit of chewing the bars of his hutch or pen to get my attention if I make the error of playing with one of the others. The problem is, it works! Sneaky little piggle.

Ernest piggle likes getting on top of my foot so I can't move without speaking to him.

Do anyone else's piggles have any irritating habits? I can't be alone
 
Peanut Butter can't stand to be away from Hazelnut. He sets up a squeal like he is in the jaws of a hungry hound! I always have to hurry to get them together again because I find the squealing unbearable.
 
My Minipig does that if I pick Ernest up. Ernest doesn't seem to care through!
 
Rusty likes to bug my boxer dog Bella. Bella will be watching them and sooner or later she'll stick her face into the bars; now Bella looks like this;

Rusty seems to think its a good idea to nip Bella's lips a nose, and sometimes Lillith will join in. They've never drawn blood but have made Bella pretty mad lol.
Another thing is Rusty love to pull the little bar thingys that keep their water bottle in place when I go to fill it up. One time I couldn't find the bloody thing, she had it in her hutch lol.

Mo has to have carrot when I get home from work. He chews the bars as soon as he hears the front door. If I give him something other than carrot he will eat that and chew bars again! If I give him carrot the 1st time hes happy with that and does not come back for more LOL

He also broke one of his teeth chewing the bars once, it grew back quickly but it has not stopped him!
 
Quite a few of my pigs are bar chewers. Don't get me wrong, I don't find it annoying, I just worry they'll damage their teeth as Coconut did - yet he's still the worst for doing it! D'Oh!

Phantom has developed a habit involving chewing her cage-mates fur. They have plenty of toys and chews etc, they are all very spoilt but she still does it. The others don't squeak or anything and she shows no aggressive behavior toward them - I just think I'm going to end up with a lot of skinny pigs if she carries on! Naughty little !
 
One of the current (roaming) crowd has discovered chewing on the living room door if I'm taking too long over making piggy dinner!
 
The guinea pigs I had as a child to a liking to ripping the wall paper off the wall much to my mum's horror! We ended up putting a piece of perspex on top of the skirting board all round the room so they couldn't do it.
