So I've been trying to think of ways to give my boyz a bit more variety in their little lives.

They have an outdoor hutch, a run, and an indoor cage but I've been reading a lot on this forum about "floor time".

So I devised a way to section off a part of the dining room, laid out some towels and jumpers, their favourite ball toys and some dandelions :))

At first they just stood in one corner - gazing out from behind a curtain - so I sat with them and gently encouraged them (otherwise known as picked them up and plonked them) by the dandelion.

After that they started running around, nose to tail like a choo choo train, making the loudest noises ever - I can only describe this as frenzied giggling. But then started taking it in turns to hump each other (side on), still chattering loudly.

I wasn't sure if they were tremendously excited or tremendously scared, so I put them back in their hutch.

Anyone? @)
 
They sound tremendously excited to me - new smells, places, etc are weird to a piggie but they'll soon relax as they get to know it all.

Humping happens regardless as to whether they are boys or girls :))
 
My trio do the nose-to-bum thing, it's quite sweet! They tend to do that in new places, like they're investigating together.

Jeff does the chattering thing - I wish I knew what he was saying - whatever it is, he's very passionate about it!

Sounds to me like they enjoyed their floor time!
 
HA... I feel a bit bad for putting them back in their hutch now - if they were actually having fun.

They were probably like "thanks a lot"!
