Is it weird that I can tell exactly who is wheeking out of my boys, even if I’m in another room (yes, they’re that loud!)? 😂
I can’t pinpoint it but there’s definitely a difference between when Smokey wheeks and when Bacon wheeks!
 
Yeah, sounds right to me. I've got three who wheek really loudly. There's also the difference between - 'Mum, your home - feed me now' and 'it's 2:00am and I've just been chucked out of my fav. litter tray nest by someone'.
 
I can tell the difference between my girls wheeking. I can also tell who is drinking from the water bottle by the sound, they both have different methods.
Smokey is very aggressive with his water bottle he pulls on it, but Bacon is gentle 😂
 
I'm impressed. But then I could never recognise my own babies’ cries either like everyone claimed you could (should?) if I had the cheek to pop to the loo at one of the interminable toddler groups...
 
Yep I can tell who is wheeking! Especially when Trudie does it right in my ear as i bend down in front of the cage to scoop some nuggets from the tub!
 
I used to be able to but Lily and Poppy are very similar in loudness and pitch. Daisy I can tell a mile off and Donald I could tell as well. I haven't noticed if Boris is wheeking since being in the hutch as he isn't at the stage of showing me yet and there's usually at least one other going off at the time :))
 
I can recognise Tallullah-oollah-woolah the 3am fire alarm both by wheeks (she has a very special and rich tone of wheek in the style of Amy Winehouse) and by her water bottle rattle intensity, and also her husband Ollie who sometines joins in with a slightly posh wheek and some bar biting :)
And there are certain noises I recognise from the others like Puggle's constant low-level chuckle-nagging, Jezzy bleats like a sheep if anyone sniffs her bum, and Blod has a very special teenage "you messed up my hair" outraged wheek. Piggle usually doesnt speak but makes loud crashing sounds, and Clover and Theo mostly stay silent except for provoking everyone else to make noise (by messing up their hair or sticking their noses up the other piggy bums :) )
