squeaky pigs

[ester]

Little Tiffin (still only 660g) is nailing the being sociable thing, will hand feed even from teenage boys , doesn't run away quite so quick etc.

Not so much Millie, who at 980kg far outweighs her friend, but would really rather not. She will hand feed so long as I have plenty of time and do my best musical statues impression. Interesting it was my last funky haired who was more nervy.

The hop in the box training (so they can be transported from indoor or outdoor runs back to cage) has been picked up superbly- tends to be picked up by the more scared first so Millie won this one. But to the point that Tiffin kept getting in the box that I hadn't needed to catch Millie for handling the other day and kept looking at me as if to say it was bedtime and why wasn't the box moving. Will get a better video than I have managed so far.

They are so cute. My cousins had piggies when we were kids and my favourite was one that was just like your orange one. I seem to remember at least one of the crazy haired ones being less tame than the others too. Although obviously all lost in the mists of time now.

Oh how cute. I haven't weighed mine again. Well done on the piggy taming. I need to post an update and question in my thread really.

Millie is like... "okay if it means that much to you I will eat the bean..."

They are so cute and I love their noises ?

She will only hand eat if Tiffin is already having some, the force becomes too strong then! She had 3 beans then couldn't cope anymore, had to go hide.

Lol it's a complex calculation if the fear of The Hand is greater than the fear of missing treats, compounded by the fear of your brother getting more than you. I think she is correct, the answer is 3 bean.

I love your piggies so much (shamelessly facebook stalking you for guinea pig wheeks)
