Hi All,

I was thinking about how much I love piggies and appreciate their nature. What’s your favourite thing about them? Mine has to be how whenever I change around the cage they make their little noises and literally check out the whole thing and every nook and cranny. I love how if I put a tunnel down they all will go through the tunnel to check it out 🥰😂 it also makes me feel appreciated, unlike doing thing for my 4 year old 😂😂😂😂
 
I love the fact that they know the routine especially around food time. Mine don't wheek they just put their noses up and stretch their heads out expectantly. I haven't had a wheaker since Pretty Patsy and she toddled off to The Rainbow Bridge in October 2021.
 
Polo walks up to the bars staring meaningfully at me and gazes at me when his pellet bowl is empty. He dashes about his cage, thumping his feet, and as last resort, starts crunching on the correx 😄 Truffle winge weeks and zooms intermittently. Or throws himself down in a corner and puts his head on his paws ❤️

Mine don’t wheek either! I wish they did 😞 I have the routine like you, however if some days I don’t put out enough veggies they start eyeballing me as if to say “well… that’s it? Where’s the rest?” 😂 I’m not sure if it’s because I have girls but they always run and hide but stick their noses out and when I put fresh hay out then the minute I turn my back they run flat out to it lol

They sound like they have big personalities!
