So this is just simply a test of the cuddleability of your piggies! It is very simple to do! Hold your guinea pig for a while, walk around with him and see how much he or she likes to be cuddled! I have just finished doing this test and heres my score...

Gizi - Quiet wiggley, doesn't like to be cuddled with that much
I give Gizi a 4 out of 10

Honey - A relaxed piggy, wants to go in the cage when she sees it.
I give Honey a 8 out of 10

Whats your score?
 
I would rate Linney a 9... she will kick her feet out the back and go to sleep on our laps most days. I'd rate Sundae about a 7. She sits happily as long as someone is constantly patting her, but gets restless if she isn't getting a constant back rub.
 
Nice idea, Gizi! I'll give Coconut a 6 out of ten because she gets squirmy after a little while or when she sees her cage. She nips you to go back to the cage sometimes, too! I'll give Hazelnut a 9 out of ten because she'll sit on your lap looking quite relaxed and when you are carrying her she doesn't squirm at all!
 
Widget gets a 6.5 as she doesn't wriggle when she has cuddles but it's mostly because she's too worried to move (she is a Very Worried Pig). Pixel gets an 8 as she pulls some very interesting 'relaxed' poses but will start trying to shred my clothes when she wants a widdle. Thor is 8.5 - he snuggles into my neck when I carry him around and has very politely kept his furry legs crossed thus far and never widdled on me! He also loves curling up in his snuggle sack on my lap.
 
I have no idea for MIna - stands there demanding to be picked up for cuddles, manages to wrestle her way into exactly the right place that she wants (and it can vary from your lap to your neck) and insists on being stroked for just as long as she likes and then tells you to stop, she will even let you know when she needs a wee and then goes to the toilet when put back in the run and waits to be picked up again for more cuddles.....she is IN CHARGE of the cuddle.

I end up picking her up much more than the others, but sometimes she just wants a quick ten minute snuggle and then tells me to put her back. So I don't know. I am tempted to give her a 10, but really she is a long way from a piggy that will just relax on you and take whatever cuddles are going, whenever they are available.

I have to say that Mina is the favourite of anyone visiting us and meeting the piggies, she is such a forward little hussy!
 
Rambo and Patch I would give... 4/10 as they wriggle and fidget, Maple Moo and Lucky are very good lap pigs and tend to chooken out a lot so 9/10, Pecan it depends on entirely her majestys mood.

My trio (Abigail, Maggie and Rory) don't like being seperated, old Rory gets really wound up but when they are out altogether 9/10! Rory ends on stamping on one of his girls head or shoves his butt into their faces! They have such patience with him!

@sport_billy whats Vimto's cuddle ability?

My girls love their cuddles for an hour or so! Providing they're let loose for a run around. I give them both a 9/10.
They're not particularly wriggly, only when they have their nails clipped and teeth checked.
 
I think both ellie &grace get 9+ out of 10 once they're on my lap or in my arms. They just give me the runaround getting them there!
Sleepies &chooken legs all the way at cuddle time :)

I would give Bubble a 10 when food is involved! He could sit there for hours! However once food is gone, he would get about a 6, as he will be on the hunt for food, haha!

As for Piglet, I don't know. He's still new too my house so isn't settled in completely therefore isn't a huge fan of laptime or handling yet! He's about a 2 or 3 at the moment, but is improving!
 
Hazelnut gets a 10. He absolutely loves having me walk around while snuggling against my shoulder. He makes happy little noises and even lets me kiss his side.Sometimes he will even give me piggy kisses on my neck.

Peanut Butter gets a 1. He wiggles and tries to walk all over me while I'm walking him! I would give him 0 but when he's at the vet's suddenly he's happy to snuggle into my shoulder.
 
Ted gets a 5. He doesn't exactly tell me that he's only tolerating a cuddle because he doesn't want to offend me but it's pretty close. Violet gets a 6. She snuggles for a few moments then gives me a nip to say I've had enough. Fudge gets a 7.5 She still screams and legs it in terror (yes even after all these years) but then sits peacefully being petted on my lap for ages before giving me the I need a wee signal. She never looks totally relaxed. Connie gets a 9. Snuggles into my neck, chin, wherever. On my lap she suddenly flops onto her side with her feet out and starts dozing. Happily has a wash and brush up and polishes off any poops so she doesn't leave a mess behind. Got a real mix of piggies here!
