Nicknames :)

[xToNix]

We call our piggies, Smigs (smelly pigs, even though they’re not at all smelly). I was just wondering if anyone else has similar nicknames for their herds?

 

[DM030819]

Mine are always just "the boys" as I've only ever had boys. Not very inventive eh!

 

[Betsy]

My herd are "you lot"

Monkeys, they’re all little monkeys!
Love them really

 

[TheThreeCavies]

Pig pigs!

In the morning I go and see them and call out "pig pigs!" Hoping that they'll eventually get used to me!

Piggie wigs!
To be honest if I have food Sam will respond to anything

 

[Claire W]

I call my babies as a pair although seperately they have many different names

 

[sport_billy]

'The Babies' because both piggies arrived as Babies Widget was a 2 weeks old and chickpea three months

Collectively 'The Ood' named after a species in Dr Who who 'wanted to feed......' as they always want to feed

Also 'The Mouths' or 'The Bellies'

Piggie-piggies in our house, it’s hilarious to hear my 3 year old call them that and use the same silly voice that I use with them.

What fab nicknames it’s true that most of them have many. Mine also go by babas, my gorgeousies and my darlings lol. I’m missing them now!

I dont think ive called anything by its real name in my life ours are the wigglies, pigglies, piggeroos, pigleroos, beans, sausages, furtatoes, squeakers, foodbags, walking stomachs...I can't even remember them all.

All the pigs have multiple, individual nicknames too..my favourite being Bramalamadingdong for Bramble

I always referred to my last pair as "the hooligans" or "the hallions"

Good names @Lorcan!

 

[PigglePuggle]

The girls are the squeaky blinders gang and daddy calls Theo the micro-badger because of his black and white stripes

 

[ThePotterPiggie]

I call my boys 'Crazy Babies'

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

My two boars nicknames have always been as per my user name ('Qualcast' and 'Flymo') because they are our little lawnmowers
My husband also has given them the nicknames Barbie and Cue. I also call them 'piggiewigs' sometimes when I go in their room.
At the moment I only have 'Flymo' as we lost his cagemate in March. As I'm having difficulty finding him a new boar-friend, he may end up being neutered and getting a wifepig or two - in which case I might need a different nickname or two!

[PerceptorII]

I often call mine "boys" or "piggies" or ... "behbehs". (I am TOO a grown man!) Individually I sometimes call Oti "Otimus Prime" and Dobbins "Dob" or "Dobbins-Oh-Seven".

Wow, I’m impressed your social worker remembered they’re guinea pigs and not hamsters.. or gerbils.. I recently showed my 5 year old niece a picture of one of my pigs and she said ohhh you’ve got a hamster! Pretty big hamster!

She's a very good social worker, lol. There's not enough out there like her.

Mind you, I never shut up about the boys, which probably helped.
