My two go crazy at me putting my swine flu gel on my hands, which I always do before chopping their veg, they can hear me do it ?/ and start popcorning and sticking their heads through the bars, then the fridge and veg bags send them into overdrive! :<>
 
ANY noise from the kitchen, but especially the fridge door, kitchen door (fresh grass?), the chopping board...
 
Mine don't do it unless it is morning, or just as I get home from work...its the hand rubbing that gets them going! :(|)

I love how brave they are becoming, they stick their noses in the air at the front of the cage! :<>
 
As I'm at home throughoput the day, there is always the chance of a little treat (like a little bit of grass), so everypig lives in hope and forms a mob just behind the living room door so I can barely get back in!
 
For mine its always the chopping board, god forbid I want to make myself a sandwich mid-afternoon :(|)
 
Its true! :-D Mine used to go crazy at the sound of the hay bag being russled, the fridge being opened, the chopping board, and if I was feeling particularly mean, rattling the chopped veg at them just before I put it in the cage! ;-)

Mum's piggies go insane when they hear the scissors because she cuts grass with them just outside of their shed!
 
I'm sure my pigs have a sense of time - when i get up before i even have a chance to open the fridge they are wheeking, then when i get back from the school run they wheek as i come through the door as these are the times I feed their veg Lol :))

And of course theres the fridge opening, the chopping and the veg bag noises :)) Francesca is usually the first and then sends up the alert for the other two, so they come running.

I love it when they have floor time and i come in with a treat - they hear the bag russelling and come running at me like three little dogs :))
 
Every time I walk past them in the kitchen. Peggy is a right one :)) She squeals like a pig and sets everyone off and runs up and down until I give them something - this is several times a day - not just at morning and evening veg time :)) I can hardly put the kettle on for a coffee without her squealing at me, the tumble dryer sets her off, the washing machine, the fridge door, the chopping board, the bread bin lid :{ the back door opening, Peggy is just bonkers rolleyes

Ha ha! Love it! :))
 
Mine squeak with any sound... The shed is right at the end of the garden, but if they hear the back door open they go mad. It makes me laugh because if I go up to the shed empty handed, no matter how many times that day they've been fed (and lets just say they're hardly wasting away) they get really cross if I don't feed them. We keep all our bird food in the shed and if I go i to fill up a bird feeder I'm greeted with a beautiful chorus of happy squeeks which, if not met with food, will rapidly turn into a series of teeth chattering, cage chewing and withering stares. Even though they have hutches full of food.

Bless them. Once I just took their food out, waited and put it back in and they were thrilled with the food they'd had all along :))
 
That's so funny, Tallulah!

Mine will let me know they are starving whenever I move within eyesight, but rustling of any kind from any object being moved is especially interesting in my piggie world.

And today I found out they don't like radishes... First veggie I've offered that they haven't inhaled.
 
yep, this all sounds familiar - back doors, fridge doors, plastic bags and chopping boards and I swear sometimes they hear me stirring in bed and start up too!

Alway delightful!
 
aahhh everything lol,

I get squealed at for walking past there room and not stopping with a food delivery,the chopping board,fridge,when OH sharpens the knives as he does it right beofre veg time,if i open the bottle on juice or any other drink,if i run any water from the tap the list does on :(|)
 
Yep same in my house, the hoover, the loo being flushed, turning over in bed, any thing russling or getting chopped, the alarm clock, even the sound of me opening the front door I can hear them as I walk up the stairs to my flat. Any noise is an excuse to make a noise.
 
my boys go crazy at chopping anything plus are alarm clocks they have tea at 5 ai 1 min past 5 they go crazy shouting at me till i go & get it little devils but its lovely
 
My piggies get their veggies when I'm going to bed. The minute they hear the TV being switched off they start charging around their cages. They sound like a herd of stampeding elephants. For such little animals they can make some noise!

I think my two are the same :)) They go mad in the morning and evening at meal times!

Of course, like most on here, the patio door opening or closing, rustling of a plastic bag (even is it's actually cat food! :)) ) or the fridge opening or closing sets them off too. They occassionally shout when they hear the microwave opening/closing now as well. I think this may be a link to their snugglesafe pad being warmed up and tem getting a sneaky treat in the afterwards!
