Teenage Guinea Pig
Finally my two Rex girlies Miffy and Piglet and their little friend Squidgey Pig (who sounds more like a stuck pig with all her squealing) have started waiting for me at the bars of the cage! Hoorah! They were so timid to begin with but today all 3 of them lined up eagerly awaiting a little dandelion treat and took it from my hands no issues.
Still got the Texels Boo and Willow to convert but I'm hoping since they watch the other 3, especially little Boo, that they will start copying sooner or later. Boo will take from a very still hand but not often.
I love it when they're all waiting for me though! So far I've relied on my older piggies teaching the newer piggies what to do (sometimes a bad thing when one pig teaches the other one how to get out of the cage ala naughty Pickle and her prodigy Ed!) but since this is a whole new group it's been a bit difficult to get them all super tame so I'm pleased!
