Oh yeah, we poo under the fleece and then sit on it too...I forgot that one. It does work quite well, *** the hoomans don't always notice what we've done. Ruth is the best at it because she's so little she can sneak under without getting noticed so much. It seems to rumple the fleece much more when I do it. And then Ro comes and uses it as a pillow and gives the game away.

. *****Well we think the human has figured out this strategy too....but least we get to keep it overnight....
 
Gus here...didn't appreciate those two calling me a weenie so thought I'd pop on here. Frankly coming from a pet store I'm right happy with our mum...but I am rather curious as to this training thing to. For instance the trimming of my bum hair...really MUST she do that? And pardon me but she seems rather fascinated with my boy parts...at least once a day she gives them a check, um why? I like to sit on mums shoulder and watch tv but I want to watch something different . I've tried to convey this by lickIng and nibbling on mums ear but she Dosent seem to get the message. I will appreciate any tips in these matters, thanks!
Love,gus
 
Ok s'mores n Choco again....the human has officially lost it. This morning instead of wheeking at us like normal....she SANG to us. Help!! How do we stop that sound from comming out of her ? We do NOT appreciate being woken up by a dying goat sound! Do they make guinea pig sized ear plugs....s'mores is stuffing hay in his ears as we speak.
 
Hello fellow piggies, Coconut hhhhere, don't you hhhate it when the hoomans give you silly names? I'm not all brown and hairy like a coconut - well, I am hairy but I'm white. I found that letting the hoomans rub my chin usually means I get fed first. Also, I've trained the female hooman to put me back in my cage when I put my paws up on her hands (she think's its her that's taught me to do it when she says "back?" haha!)... Silly pet hoomans, eh?

-----

WHEEEEK WHEEEK WHEEK BABY'S TURN! I THINK SHOUTING AT THE HOOMANS ALL THE TIME BY SQUEAKING AS LOUD AS I CAN IS FUNNY! I SHOUT ALLLLL THE TIME! I ESPECIALLY LIKE SHOUTING AT THE MALE HOOMAN AND WAKING HIM UP AT 4AM WHEN HE MOVES IN HIS SLEEP! MWAHAHAHA! MAKES THEM JUMP!

-----

wiip wiip wiip wiip wiip... mhy name is Phantom, some of yoou may rhemember my last photo shoot where I sat on my hooman's head. That's the best place to sit cause you can seeee all around AND you get to pee and poop on them - you should see the faces they make when it runs down their backs :P

-----

Good day to you, fellow cavies. For me, Pancake, the best way to get attention and food has been to let my grand-ma hooman stroke to in my cage and let her pick me up. I get lots and lots of extra treats for doing that... I also steal her eyeliner when she's not looking so I look cute... Look I put some pics of me at the end, she even put my papaya treat on a plate for me as I am a grown up piggy now! I have her well trained!

-----

Toffee, Cinnamon, Mocha, Wiiiiieek, Marble and Jellybean: nom nom nom whee are too busy eating cause the hooman came in from the shop with lots of veggies - we say, just stare at them and squeak whenever they move, even a little until they feed you and if they try to wash you in that "bath" thing, wriggle as much as you can and run up their arms to get them all wet - give them a taste of their own medicine!

Whee all hope to speak to you again soon, have to go now, the hooman is coming back! Wheeeeee!
 
Hazelnut here. Do not listen to Peanut Butter. I was here before him and I am the one that trained the humans. He just has never realised that he does not need to expend all that energy.

The humans constantly come to check out my gorgeous leggies and also to give me chin rubs. Then that prompts them to make sure everything else is to my liking. And that is established by polite conversation. Human: carrots Hazelnut? Me: a soft little moan to say yes and voila carrots appear. And who comes running over to nom on them? PB of course. Peanut Butter, if you allowed chin rubs or showed off your legs more you'd get stuff from the humans with less effort.

When I have had enough floor time I just go to the edge of the run and stare at our home. The humans get the message straight away. None of this shrieking at the top of your lungs!

OK, PB has a point about the poop clean-ups. Too many! But all his constant frantic efforts to stop it has not stopped it. So a sensible pig will just lay quietly enjoying the poop pile for as long as possible.

Well this is something me (Hazelnut) and Peanut Butter can agree on! We have one human who sings to us. Always that Tom Jones song What's New *****cat, only she sings guinea pig where Tom sings *****cat. She thinks we like it because we stare at her when she sings that song. What we are really doing is trying to hypnotise her into not singing. So far no luck. Stuffing hay into our ears sounds like a good idea!

Whee sure did enjoy all those tips and plan on adding those to our schedule! Only one we may not attempt is the head sitting, whee isnt brave enough to try that , but we think to wee on the humans head delightfully clever....maybe we can convince gus to wee on her shoulder as they watch tv together. he already wee's on her leg when he feels like it. he dosent give a nip on the clothes like we smart piggys do. although he probably wont do it..he is such the kissup.
thank you all for popping in...and saying your peice. Oh and pancake you are guite hansome in that eyeliner, maybe we should steal our humans. we already attemped to eat her cereal this morning. it was rice crispy's ..we like those. but she only let us have one little nibble this morning. its funny because she dosent know we found a dropped fruit loop in the kitchen and ate all of it

hazelnut I'm glad you popped in to set the record straight. I think sometimes the shreiking does work better because it wakes the silly human up and prompts her to stuff food in your face to make you shut up. But you do have a good point that if you just lay and look cute...the human gives you extras sometimes just for being the quiet and supposedly obediant one. Hmmm...perhaps its good to have both of you..the opposites to round out the trick. I'm a shreiker myself (smores)..and choco is rather guiet. It works for us. I run around like mad and chew the bars..and choco sits on the bed streches his face as far through the bars as he can and does his I'm dying wheek.. it seems to do the trick . We had a giant poo pile shoved back into the corner this morning and the human removed us OFF of it...so we apparently were thinking the same thing youwe were, to just give up on stopping her, and enjoying it as long as we could. Although it made us smell right POOEY..as we like it..but the human broke out the wet wipes. said something about company coming and we STANK. I think she stinks...she smells like a flaming flower or something. pee *.....

Oh dear..your human sings too. (if you can call it singing). How odd that when we run and hide in our hidey and refuse to come out that she dosent GET that the dying goat sound has us hiding in the hidey and stuffing hay in our ears.. .....unfortunatly for you and us..the hay stuffing dosent help..because then she picks us up in our daily bum ears eyes nose mouth and toes check...and removes anything stuck where SHE thinks it aught not to be. I still remember the day I tucked a few pellets into my hidey spot down there around my paticulars. she REMOVED IT. um...i was saving that for later you stupid hooman. wheeking in sympathy for your ears having to hear that silly human sing. wee's know what it likes.

bye for now.
smores n choco (and gus too we guess)
 
Penny here,

My daddy hooman sings, and plays the guitar. I love it! Sometimes I sing right along :) He always gets the words wrong though.

They should be more along the lines of..

"I love my veggies! I love to eat! I love when I'm chewing! I love to sleep in my bowl!" More like that!

Dearest penny, so happy your humans singing is to your liking! We wouldn't mind it if our human could carry a tune, but as we mentioned ours sounds like a dying goat. We like the Hoover sound much better and vroom right along in unison. Gus is a chicken and hides when she breaks out the Hoover. thanks for popping in!
 
Gus here...didn't appreciate those two calling me a weenie so thought I'd pop on here. Frankly coming from a pet store I'm right happy with our mum...but I am rather curious as to this training thing to. For instance the trimming of my bum hair...really MUST she do that? And pardon me but she seems rather fascinated with my boy parts...at least once a day she gives them a check, um why? I like to sit on mums shoulder and watch tv but I want to watch something different . I've tried to convey this by lickIng and nibbling on mums ear but she Dosent seem to get the message. I will appreciate any tips in these matters, thanks!
Love,gus


Dear friend Gus............ooooooh my that's not nice at all! :red er maybe you could you know...do a little fluff in her face? :(|)
Re the telly watching, maybe you need to chew on that black thing with the tasty buttons, our bro Duke (RIP) loved chewing on the buttons, but he got into trouble, but maybe if you doned it she'd have to change the channel eh!

keep on wheeeeeking for those treaties Gus mate!

Oh wheeeeeeeeeeek isn't that noise just 'orrible :)>>> tho.....if it means you get a treat it can be slightly put up with! This is where the trick of lying on the side will always shut up the hooman screeching (you call it singing? huh not us!) they stop in mid screeech and then go OMG....... then you give her a nice smile and look so innocent and adorable, which whee knows you all do, then hey presto nom nom's are presented and duly stuffed into our gobs and nomed down fast as!

V and O xoxoxoxo
 
Hey Penny.......that sounds nice, maybe whee could listen in one day?
Maybe Choco, Smores and Gus could too!

Boys whee need our own puter time and skype so whee's can all chat and listen to guitar (what the heck is that anyways? crikey Onyx it's a box thing with lines on it and the hooman puts there hands on the lines and it sings nice tunes.....oh right thanks Velvey)

Dearest glynis (and lovely ladies),
unfortunatly our human already figured out I'd nom the buttons, as i went straight for that thing. (well it looked edible anyways)...I gave her a right good wee on her leg for removing it before I had a chance to taste it.
As to fluffing. I hadnt thought of that...I may just do that. Although knowing how keen she is on me not smelling anything like a piggy but stupid icky baby powder scented stuff (i's not a baby) ...she'd likely run me to the big metal thing..and start with the water and gooey cold liquidy stuff again. So..I'm not sure if I should toot in her face. ...thanks for the imput tho....perhaps I can convince smores or choco to do that instead...they right deserve another bath for calling me a weenie..

Yes..its horrid! i mean...we would say actually that the dying goat would sound better. As to treats following...well we could perhaps stand it for a min or so if she'd follow it with treats..but she dosent seem to be on that program for some odd reason. Although we must say she did slice us up a right pretty little strawberry this morning, and even cut the seeds away first so we'd dont choak on our breakfast. somtimes this human is pretty ok.
gus turned his nose up at the berry...he's WEIRD. but she gave him an apple to sub for it...but didnt give us one. Not our fault he turned his nose up..so where is OUR apple hmmmmm....
 
Hey Penny.......that sounds nice, maybe whee could listen in one day?

perhaps we should duct tape our human (or ziptie since she's so fond of those things) to the chair and make her listen to what singing SHOULD sound like....theres an idea....choco go fetch the ties ...I cant reach smores...well buggar....gus your taller..go fetch them...no way guys..I'm busy eating my nice big peice of celery..fetch it yourselfs.....

to be continued whee suppose.

Hello, My name is Hermes, and I have my hoomins well trained!
Coming down the creaky stairs? I'll squeak so loud that I sound like an alarm. Going into the kitchen? I'll squeak until you get me something, if you dont, you SHALL be made to feel guilty when you come back into the living room, see these big staring eyes at the side of the cage, yes, they are my best weapon. Opening the fridge? You must be crazy. Still have nothing for me? I will sulk and make you feel even more guilty.

Mummy is the easiest to train, she gives in so easily because she's a big softy. Daddy is a little more stubborn, though I like his music. He listens to something that's noisy with other hoomins growling, it makes me wheek my head off for some strange reason.

S'mores here....as a fellow wheek like Mad fellow I have to say hear hear good on *! I've not mastered the sad eye thing but I think it's because my face and my eyes match in color so she can't see them well. Choco and Gus have it mastered so I just holler my head of...thanks for the photo ..will help other Piggys pull it off I think! Whee is off to bed now! Lots of training the Human tomm

My girly friends across the room (who I've been promised I can meet in a few weeks, is something happening?) have the sad eyes down to a T, but I think mine are more convincing. Daddy just told me that the band that I went mad to, wheeking and racing around my cage, was a technical death metal band called Sylosis. I'm not sure what that means, but whatever it is, me likey!

Our human hasn't mentioned this word "band"....she does sometimes turn on this weird thing and all sorts of noises come out of it. She also has this small thing that makes noises and for some reason it's almost always in her hand and we hear this tap tic tAp noise and we see her fingers hitting it o er and over....maybe it has a bug on it that she trying to squish! She also talks and yells into it!
 
Lilly, Toffeewoffee, Minnie and baby Scrummy here, we have the oldest bestest trick in the book, the slave clearly hasn't cottened onto this yet, stupid wooman! She usually cuts up lots of veggies and puts them in our dish and puts it in the cage, as hard as it is to resiti eating it, go and sniff it (remember not to eat any of it.....yet anyway) and pretend your not impressed, then go back over and climb up the bars and carry on wheeking, she then thinks that we aint going to eat what is in the dish, so chucks on some lettuce or cabbage noms, so we eat these then polish off the nombs in the bowl :(|)

Honeslty she is so silly, she hasn't discovered our trick yet, its our little scret, but give it a try.

Another hint, if you like a clean cosy that is freshly washed every other day, pee and poo in it as much as you can so it stinks then she will wash it.

Whee will have a good reads through the others later when the hooman is washign our cosys or something.

Thanks for sharing, hope you find ours useful.

xx
 
as requested here are my step by step guide to getting veg:

first the guilt trip, see the sad eyes?

DSCN0187.jpg


Then the cutey pleaaaaaase face

dont forget to show those lips, the hoomans love that

she then gave in and i legged it, Slave 0 david 1

Ohhhh yay that just sounds like it works a treat! Whee will definatly add that to the list! We love purple cabbage, though the human hasn't given it in a while...last time we had it she was really fussing about "staining the chopping board and counters" whatever that means. Thanks for sharing this tip...we r off to try it as its lunch time :)

Oh kind David thank you for being our model for "getting more food from the humans" demonstration. We can see you have indeed mastered the art. If we was humans we would definatly feed you. We shall with your permission attempt this at once...as we speak the slaves are fetching our lunch , again thank you for being our model!

Any luck? We think the hooman has cottened on..... no extra veggies for us tonight, just whats in the dish :( But she has been spying on us, so we have left them, we'll wait a while then wolf them all down.

She has had the big flashy thing out tonight, she had us all lined up on the sofa!

No luck ....same measly allotment as usual...either we did it wrong or our human is on to it. She's gone out to town so we just wolfed it down! We hate the big flashy thingy, we wheek with sympathy for *!
