Hi there, I'm new to the forum, not necessarily new to guineas. I have a question though, is there any certain age when pigs start squeaking? This is the first time I've had "baby" pigs. Well they're about 6 months old now. And it's the first time I've had girls. But they are VERY quiet little things.
My others would scream as soon as my husband walked in the door as he's the main veggie feeder.
I just don't know if it's normal for them to be so silent. I hear them occasionally quietly grunting to each other, but certainly not the scream I'm used to.
I also had a love bird that was living right next to them that was quite a chatterbox, perhaps that scared them? She has since passed on which has allowed me to let the piggies take advantage of more room. So I've constructed one of the homemade cages. Maybe zooming around will help them to come out of their shells. They are both very timid.
We were spoiled with our last piggie, he was a sweetheart
So is it an age thing?
A boy/girl thing?
Or they just don't feel like oinking thing
