Title says it all really.

One of my rainbow bridge pigs, Jake, nearly started a riot one Christmas morning. I was having to stay at my parents house and they had this dolt of a Lab at the time who couldn't be allowed near pigs. So they had to be sneaked in, sneaked out, and the dog wasn't allowed in the room with them during their stay.

This was fine because she didn't actually realise anything was amiss at first. Then, at 7am that Christmas morning, Jake decided to wheek for his breakfast and the Lab heard him.

Everyone was awake in record time because the dog insisted on letting everyone know, via loud, confused and angry barking, that there was an intruder in the house. Jake insisted on continually wheeking til I fed him, completely ignoring the manic dog elsewhere in the house. Nobody was impressed with me that morning :))

As for my current two, when they still drank from a bowl one decided to tip it over and they both got splashed. They weren't particularly impressed with each other for that. Can't possibly imagine why. :doh:
 
Awwwww Jake sounds as though he was a very cheeky piggy! Well my pig is 'special' some might say and I'm pretty sure his mum missed out on teaching him how to actually be a GUINEA PIG. He loves to eat but I'm pretty sure he hasn't actually got the hang of it as more often then not I hear him coughing it back up! Then he sits there looking at me like yep what? Haha. My mum pretends she doesn't have much interest in him (though I've often caught her talking to him)so I bring him down and make excuses for putting him on her lap. Once I did this and he made these really big eyes and flopped on his side....then he opened his bowels and did the biggest poo I've ever seen. Mum was not impressed. Mo does many interesting and often bizarre things where I look at him and just face palm myself but he's my idiot piggy and I love him so much.

My first piggy Vinny was hilarious when she ran. She could free roam in our garden and becuase her body was quite rounded,when she lifted herself up to run it was quite amusing.
 
About a month ago Coco moved her pigloo right up against the cage wall and essentially trapped herself inside and I was cutting up veg for our salad and heard this chorus of screeching and I look over and Patchy is screeching and trying to madly move the pigloo but she couldn't (has no trouble moving it when she's not under pressure though) and Coco inside the pigloo panicking and screeching like mad so I go over and move the pigloo and Coco darts out and into another one of their hidey's and then gives me the stink eye like I was the one who trapped her in there and then last week I hear this loud "bang bang" so I run over to see whats going on and Patchy has trapped herself in the same pigloo and Coco is calmly banging her hip (she's a whopper and has big bum and hips) up against the pigloo until she moved the pigloo enough for Patchy to free herself. You will move your pigloo's around girls :doh:
 
My boyfriend will always remember the first time he met my pigs. It was when he came to visit when I still lived up North.

Anselmo decided to start chasing Toki around the cage and an epic chase scene started. It ended when Toki lept through the air (like a gazelle boyfriend says) over their cardboard tube and Anselmo skidded and crashed Wil E Coyote style.

He still laughs when he thinks about it.
 
Anselmo was also the master of getting into places he shouldn't be. He was having floor time one day when we noticed that he hadn't doot dooted past for a while.

So we started a search for him. The door was closed so he had to be somewhere in the room.

We just couldn't find him, and for some unknown reason I unzipped a bag that had a spare pair of curtains in it, and there he was, snuggled and cozy.

The bag was zipped shut, how on earth did he get in!

"Doot dooted" is about the most perfect way of describing a piggy pottering about that I have ever heard!

Billy has climbed up a staircase of boxes before and been unable to work out how to get down again. Cue much panicked wheeking while Fred and George sat at the bottom watching with interest.
 
Our two manage to push up the ramp in their cage so it catches on the grids and is stuck. Means they can't get up (or down) to the loft. Cue much noise and kerfuffle........
 
Mine has done very daft things :3 When it was summer I put them on the grass, but I used the igloo (they just like it) and I put Tammy, but all of a sudden she looked like she was trying a surf in it o-o Then when I put her on the grass her face just looked like she a hero ;3 Also they hate me picking them up (but I had to clean there hutch) and they ran down to the bottom of the hutch and they known I hate bending down. So when I bent down they run up to the top! As I went to the top, they ran back down but one stayed at the top. So I was gonna pick her but then she ran down the ladder and they both pushed it and got is stuck so I couldn't get them ;o;
 
Snowy thinks that he is part cat and during cuddle time loves to lay on the armrest of the sofa to cool off. When he gets too chilly he crawls back on to me and snuggles down.
Anyway, he was resting on the armrest as usual(I wrap my arm around it just in case he falls so he won't hit the floor) and turned around. A scrabbling of cut claws and a startled squeak and I saw Snowy sliding down the side to actually land unceremoniously on my leg. He had slid off and the filthy look he gave me was vile. He obviously blamed me rather than his largish back end...
 
Love this thread!
Ginny decided to have a wash whilst sitting on my knee during lap time. She didn't account for the slope of my legs however, and toppled over face first. Face plant lol.
Didn't bother her one bit, she just turned round and tried again. She didn't bat an eye at the earthquake that was me laughing my head off.
 
Ha so many funny things from one in particular past pig called Tilly. She came inside after her friend died. While inside she cause terror. She would jump over just about any obstacle put in her way to keep her in the hall way and not in the kitchen or living room. While you were eating tea in the kitchen the door would open and there would be sat a little pig. If you turned and said your not allowed in here she would look at you like 'what, i'm not doing anything' then quickly turn and run away.
I also lost her one night after floor time when it was bed time, searched the whole downstairs. Only to find her pretty much at the top of the stairs, she must have got up and not been able to get down so just carried on up. There was also a time when she got scared of the hoover and dived into the nearest potted houseplant to escape.
She was also on the sofa once and my brother sneezed and she ran as fast as she could into an adjacent empty crisp packet and got it stuck on her head. I will see if my brother still has the photo. She was just one of those pigs with so much character and I miss her everyday.
 
I made a mistake last night. Whilst having lap time with three of my lot (girlies) my OH warmed up some leftover pasta and peas from the previous night's tea. (It was meant for my dinner but I was in the garage for hours with the car). I turned my head to speak to him, lifting the bowl up with one hand so nosey piggies couldn't sniff it, and found that Smudge had clambered up my chest to get higher and had her head in the bowl, having a good sniff around. As I had eaten the pasta only peas were left. I do not cook with salt and although I love my piggies dearly, I will not eat from the same bowl as them!

Needless to say the peas met their demise in the food recycling bin!
 
Like three years ago (when we had small cages with doors) our guinea pig excaped that night! We were so suprised she was still in that room (since she was in the basement) because she knew how to climb the stairs. We woke up with about 20 little surprises scattered all over from her adventure.
 
Seeing the thread on zoomies reminded me of Comet's favourite pastime - bedtime zoomies! He does it every night without fail after the light is switched off for the night. Back when he and Blitzen were smaller he used to include their fibre tunnels in the run, and if Blitzen was in one he'd get trampled on every so often, but they could both fit in a tunnel snugly so it was possible for Comet to continue. Now, they're too big for that, so at some point Blitzen apparently puts a stop to it. It's really obvious when it happens, because Comet's route around the run suddenly changes.

:whistle: and when he's doing it too, I'll be like "seriously mate, trying to sleep here." he'll pause while I'm talking and then as soon as I stop, bam. PLAYTIME.
