Are there any funny things that your pigs do?
My pig, Boomer, will crawl into the smallest bag and go to sleep!

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

Every time I come into the room Popcorn comes running to the edge of the cage to greet me and so I put my face against the grids so he can sniff me and I kiss him - whenever I make the kissing noise he gets sooo excited - its so cute, he runs and popcorns all over the place Happens every time!!

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

Oh, and they also slide down the ramps on their bums sometimes instead of run down (because they are covered in fleece), it doesnt bother them though, so cute to see

My Piggers do the same.
For a long time now my Oliver has been sliding down the ramp, He gets a running start and slides down the ramp sort of sideways, or crossed up as if on a dirt bike while Levi would only watch he would get very excited and popcorn around like crazy about it. But recently Levi has begun doing it.
Sometimes, I think they go up just to slide back down again, and again. It has got to be one of the funniest things I have seen the boys do together thus far.

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

My piggles run up to the grids when i stick my fingers in, and pheobe sqeaks the loudest for no reason. ( for instence she would be in the litterbox and wheek her head off, or eating food she'd wheek her head off.) one of my piggys also likes to climb into the upper part of my hidey house that has no ramp and is very hard to reach, it makes me wonder how she gets up there.

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

I recently added a loft for my cage. During treat time, I put veggies both in the loft and on the lower level.
I have four girls. The two most "dominate" girls will have a few bites imediately hop up into the loft when veggie time comes. They will have a few bites, then drag veggies from the loft, and leave them "downstairs" for the "submissive" two!
They seem to think that loft veggies are tastier, and want to share

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

When my little pig Bella is in heat, she will crawl under the cozy sack and rumblestrutt

Whenever the big pig (1100 grams) Sandy is out for floortime, she will all of a sudden run superfast in one direction, do a 180, and run back-- ears flapping, mouth open... she makes me laugh just picturing it.

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

My littlest one, Duff, will popcorn like crazy when I spot clean the cage. He will sometimes popcorn straight up in the air where he's standing and sometimes he will pop himself clear across the cage with multiple pops in a row! He also popcorns himself off balance. It makes me laugh every time.

Gus will be eating and suddenly start wheeking for no apparent reason. It's almost like he's saying, "Mooommmm! The food's almost gone! Emergency! Emergency!"

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

One of my boys Giggles stands on his hind legs when he wants veggies and start sniffing. He also absolutly loves being held on his back like a baby and get a belly rub. My other one will stand on his food dish for veggies. Lastly when they want to come out they will put their feet on the coro and squeek for me to pick them up.

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

We just adopted a baby pig to pair with our older female, Rogue. Rogue's always been very dominant so we wanted to adopt a young submissive pig. It's been interesting to see the two of them work out the rules of their relationship. Penny, the baby, immediately adored Rogue. She wants to do everything Rogue does, eat everything that Rogue eats and hide where ever Rogue hides. Rogue does her very best to be mean to this little baby (she's actually very nice, for Rogue, there's no nipping or mounting or rumbling). She gives her the eye and chases her, she steals veggies from her and is constantly marking her scent everywhere! Penny popcorns and gets zoomies every time Rogue is mean to her. She must think it's a very fun game! Rogue then popcorns when Penny popcorns. So it's a constant cycle of "I'm mean to you!" "Yey, I love it when you're mean to me!" "Aw, I love it when you're cute!"

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

HILARIOUS, PiggieMom!
My guinea pigs are sorta like that, but a little different. See Maggie's the dominant one, and Flo absolutely worships her. So during Floor Time, Maggie would walk everywhere (near the cordoned off piano, under my table, under my chair, underneath my violin stand...) and Flo would stalk her. Then when Flo gets so close that her nose touches Maggie's butt, Maggie would suddenly turn around and toss her head up, and Flo would back off, looking like a deer in a headlight.
It's like, "Why are you following me???", then "I'm not following you!" Cutely funny =D

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

When it's veggie time, I hide the greens all around the cage to make it more like a game for them. Elliot starts squeaking and popcorning and doesn't know where to start, sometimes he popcorns so much he bangs his head on the ramp or the hay rack. By now, Ollie has poked his head out of the igloo to see what all the noise is about. Then he will run over to Elliot, steal the food from his mouth, and run back to the igloo. I just think it's so funny, there is food EVERYWHERE but Ollie still makes a beeline for the stuff that Elliot is eating. Then Elliot steals it back and they continue like this until the food is gone.

Re: What are the funny things your pigs do?

When ever i vacuum under the cage my boys make a burn out *pop corn* and kick bedding all over the just vacuumed floor. Every night when i open the food container all 7 start sqweeking and popping around! But my favorite thing they do is the sweetest, when i hold them the crawl up on my neck and lick it. Melts my heart!
