What is the funniest cutest thing your Guinea pig did

20 years ago I got my first pair of pigs. They lived in a hutch with an attached run, in my front garden. One day Pickle Pig was in the run and I saw one of my neighbour's cats attempting to sneak up on the run. Pickle also saw the cat and retreated into the tunnel. Clever pig, I thought. But he wasn't hiding from fear, he was setting up an ambush and when the cat arrived at the other side of the wire, Pickle shot out of the tunnel straight at him, shrieking as loud as he could. The cat scarpered in terror and as far as I knew never went anywhere near them again.
I know this isn't really funny but Pickle was so clever and he looked so proud of himself. I could just imagine the cat telling his mates about it all, and warning of the ferocious monster that lived in my garden :)

Oh my goodness, what a brave piggy!
 
I moved them indoors not long after that, there was also a terrier next door who was an excellent escaper and she would not have been so easily scared off.
 
My boys new treat hay has really long stems. I gave them some this morning and Sir George maneuvered some so it was near the divider. Of course Master Boris knows that it will be tastier than his, so grabs it through the bars. A tug of war then ensues....
The cutest part was that when it was finished Sir George had a massive fit of squeaky popcorns ❤️

What's the hay called?

That is so cute!
 
Truffle fell over backwards while very enthusiastically doing his begging trick. He was greatly concerned that the treat might escape while he was getting back onto his feet. Fresh coriander went a long way to soothing that indignity. Later on he was trying to get into a snuggle sack that is too small for him. He approached it in a very "right snuggle sack, I mean business" way, went in the front, but turned round in it and then fell right out of it. It needed replacing and more fresh coriander was administered 😄
 
My dear Momo doesn't see very well, once I left my backpack next to his cage, and he thought it was me! He stayed next to it, asking for food for the backpack, talking to the backpack! When I got close to the cage, he kept looking at me and then at the backpack, at me and the backpack, again, at me and the backpack, then at me and the backpack! And then he ran away desperately when he realized that the backpack wasn't me! Poor Momo! Poooor Momo!
