Kristoff has been doing this a lot today when Tiana gets near him. Is it a submissive thing? She is not hurting him that I know of.
Is this a submissive squeak?

Yes, that is submissive squeaking. It is pretty effective as you can see!

That’s interesting that he is letting Tiana be the boss. After what he did to poor Olaf’s ear, it’s surprising to see him so submissive. They are such interesting little creatures! Tiana was with Elsa, Cinderella, and Olaf while Sven was here and Elsa is definitely the boss on that side, so Tiana probably thinks she is some big shot with Kristoff.
A piggy relationship relies on the piggies involved wanting to be together and then accepting a ranking according to their kudos. They can be top in one relationship but not necessarily in another. The relationship can also change as piggies are finding their feet and are growing/getting old.
Tegan for instance has always insisted she be top since her auntie Ffwlbri stepped down from the leadership; the group fell apart over rivalling claims over the vacant throne.
But she is now the underpiggy with Hafren although two years ago a bonding attempt failed when Tegan and Hafren could not come to an agreement about which of them was coming top (mostly Hafren not being happy with Tegan pushing past her).
Who needs a soap opera when they have piggies?

It’s so interesting, my friends and family had no idea they would all have their own personalities and some would get along and some not, they are definitely all their own pigs! I am surprised how different the personalities of the 3 siblings are developing, they are 5 months old now and each very unique!
