not only do the piggies have nicknames but the collective group does too.

Fudge is fidget or fatty, chubster and baby fudge (as she is the baby of the group)
flash has been lengthened to flash man

crystal doesnt have one, but minty is monkey cheeks and baboon bum :))

the group are refurred to as wigs, wiggles and the gang

(I have always given my pets nicknames, pepper the dog has loads)

What are yours?
 
My pigs are fairly new so I'm still learning about their personalities. My old guinea pig, Pip would get called Pigga Pigga Pigga, I said it when I was feeding him making him shout for food.

One of my dogs gets called everything his name is Kep but he responds to small boy
 
I quite often call my boyz the Pinnea Gigs :lol:
 
Both their 'nicknames' are actually longer than their real names, but I've always loved doing that, whether for animals or humans ;)

Chilli is either Chilli Bean or Chilli Bum or Spicy face lol
Wogan is Wogie Bear, Wogie, or Woggles

and together I call them either 'The Piggles' or 'Guinea Squigs/Squiggles' but I guess lots of people most call them that too.

I like this thread -c
 
Mine are also longer and they have all more than one lol

Lilly's names are - Lilsawoo, Linoel - because he is male
Minnie's are - Minsawoo, Minniemoo or mins
Toffee's are - Toffeewoffee, tofwof and rarely even tof tof.

Mine seem pretty samey and lame but i thought i'd share them anyway lol.
 
Wallace gets shortened to Wally ( poor boy! ), Rocket is frequently called Poppet by me ( in fact he probably thinks that's his actual name ), Yoshi is Yosh Yosh and Yoshi Yosh, Moonpig is beginning to earn the nickname Nipper ( ouch! ). Collectively it's the Piggles or The Boys ( sorry Moonpig - got to get used to having a girl piggy again!). :)
 
Pretty much everyone gets nicknames here.

China gets called Chi or rapunzel. Flower gets called Flo, Pippin gets called Pippy or Pip, Crumble gets called Crumbs or Crumbley. The rescues looking for homes get them too but there are so many.
 
Scobie is sometimes bobes or boby. Balderik is fluffbum cos he's a swiss
 
Haha, this'll be interesting:
Munchie - Boss-Pig, Chunky-Monkey (applies to a few of the others), Munchers, Tubby
Tigger - Tigs, Tiggly
Malteaser - Teaser, ASBO-Pig (although she is now very much reformed), Wifey-Pig
Muffin - Mini-Tank (see Willow's nickname - Muffin is a rather heftily built baby!)
Butterscotch - Sweetie-pig, Chatty-pig.
Izzy - Izzy-Beth, Cheeky-pie (always looks like she's done something wrong)
Willow - Tank (one of my friends commented that as her hair covers her feet she moves like a tank and as she's the biggest girl we have she is also built like a tank)
Chip - Chippity, Chunky-Chip, Chip-Chip, Cheeky-Chip, Cheeky Boy.
Bean - Grumpy-Old-Lady-Pig!
Ozzy - Dougal (dad's nickname as he can't remember their names...)
Tess - Prof/Mad-Prof (again, one of Dad's as he can't remember their names and thinks she looks like a mad professor!)
Leah - Dora the Explorer (will not stay still when you're holding her and just HAS to explore everything around her)
Panda - Panda-Bear (She actually does look like a panda!)

The others; Flossie, Jess, Jenny, Skye, Kalani and Sora haven't got a nickname yet as they're still rather new and we're still watching their personalities come through!

My dad also calls them all 'Pig (insert random number here)' because he is useless with their names!
 
Oh! I forgot Moonpig's other nickname: Bossyboots. :)
 
Nicknames are fine til you use them at the vets :))

Martha is Moo Moo, or Marty Moo

Rose is Rosie Posie Pig or Ro Ro

Collectively they are the 'Skinny Pigs' (in an ironic way :)) )

With my bunnies one is called Buttercup, nicknamed Butterballs (or Buttsy)- the vet laughed out loud when I called him that last time he had his jabs :))
