If you are bored and can spend 6 mins watching my video, then I would love your help! http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=385486215392

I put them a Primark bag in the cage kindly donated by my mum and they were loving it at first, popcorning and eating it then about 5 mins in, they started getting nasty (in my opinion)...

What do you think? They do that noise quite often too, not sure if it is real aggression or dominance.

Please ignore the noises in the background, it is me washing up and the TV, then the lights started flickering! Also ignore the fact I forgot to zoom in and take away the bed on top of the cage! ") grrrr

It all started off so nice...:(

I just watched the whole video, and thought it was really nice most of the way through, there was just a tiny scuffle at the very end!

In the main though, the body language was positive. They were popcorning together, sniffing each other, running around the bag together and sniffing it together. Very sweet x)

At the end it seemed as though they were chasing each other AWAY from the bag, but there was no fighting.

Probably just saying HEY, go away now, this is MY bag... I was here first!

Boys, eh!
 
What gorgeous piggies by the way and blimey! Don't they move fast?!

I'd forgotten how fast they can move... Lucky is an old lady now being nearly 6 years old, and she tends to just sit quietly, and moves to wheek for food and veggies!

Poppy is a different story though, havent seen her popcorn yet, I think she is still too scared!
 
Thanks!

I couldn't believe how high they were popcorning, over a paper bag! rolleyes

Could you hear the rumbling? They do that a lot when veggies are being made, in between Hoggle screaming the house down with excitement. rolleyes

It is funny to watch, I am sure Poppy will be doing it soon enough! :)
 
My boys used to do that. They were brothers and for the most part they lived together peacefully and happily, but once every 6 weeks or so, they'd spend the entire night rumbling, trying to mount each other and generally squabbling for dominance. It really worried me at first because I didn't want to have to separate them, but Porthos was always the instigator and general winner of all of these and in the end I put some of the goreous guineas neem gel on Scooter and Porthos left him alone because he didn't like the smell!

They're just finding their feet with each other still in terms of dominance I reckon... you'll probably see them doing it quite a lot as they begin to mature and try to find out who's going to be boss, and then it'll settle down once they've found their places.

They're gorgeous though :)
 
I didnt hear any rumbling to be honest, its probably just a case of over excitement and a bit of dominance... I WILL get those veggies first!
 
totally unrelated to your vid (apparantly i dont have the correct player to view it sadly...) but did you know all your info on facebook is public (info and wall)? due to this weeks new changes facebook has made everyones info public and you must go into your settings to change it to private :)
and is there anyone who can check mine to make sure ive changed my settings right and its all private to 'public' (not friends?) i shall give my name if someone can check that
 
Ooh thanks for letting me know! :red

I only used facebook to upload it because youtube and photobucket weren't showing the upload progress so I could have been there hours!

I will have to change my settings tonight! :x
 
I cant get onto your profile pictures but I can see your wall and info. I made sure I changed all my settings to 'friends only' and made sure that my friends cant share my photos!
 
Boys just being boys, by the looks of it.
Mine used to do it all the time...Actually they've started doing it again...But little squabbles come of it, every now and then.
You'd know if they were fight-fighting. Believe me. It's one of those things that when it happens...YOU KNOW, what it is. So don't worry. They were just having fun together.

Very cute. I love it when they get all excited and spring about all other the place. :))
 
It did make me laugh watching them get excited over a bag but I didn't want to cause an argument! :(|)

They have chewed a hole in the end of it so they have a back door to escape when I try to catch them. rolleyes
 
Darn I got all excited about watching the vid and I can't I'm not on facebook:(
