Media Music For Pigs?

PigPandemonium · Jan 6, 2012

Hey there,

I was just wondering, does anyone else turn on the radio for there pigs? I know it sounds kinda odd, but I have found that my pigs tend to seem more happy, energetic, and playful, when I put on music. It also helps to drown out other loud sounds in the house that would normally frighten them if it were sigh lent.

Thanks,
Sara, Phoenix, And Godric

I don't do that. But it makes sense...

I actually noticed that music has almost a calming efect on my piggies. I was listening to my Adele CD the other day and I noticed Lizzie came out in the open and layed down and just relaxed. Marie stayed in her little house but she too seemed very relaxed. Them same thing happened yesterday when I was listen to the band Perry.

One of my friends on here did that expirement.

When I adopt my guinea pigs I will play them music since there is alot of barking dogs in my neighborhood, and even though he is locked out of my bedroom my moms cat yowls through the door alot to be let in.

LOL, off topic but I would play Pink Floyd "animals" for them pig on the wing parts one and two!

Haha, glad to know that I'm not the only one

Phoenix: She seems to have a fancy for Skrillex, and dubstep/trance types of stuff.

Godric: She's more inclined to listen to pop, she likes Q102.

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

we notice that different music brings out different things in our pigs. Our male is a talker and our female is almost always quiet. If we put on some fun bouncy music (move like jagger was on) she will hold her head up high and start whistling really loud. She was born for clubin'. lol

I either have the tv going or if I'm not in the room the radio goes on except when I'm sleeping..The girls live in my bedroom were I spend most of my time so I always can talk to them....The room (rodent hideout) as we call where the hamsters (6), rat, and hedgehog are in the radio is always on...

I'm so glad someone brought this up! I have played various music for my pigs, and I get some funny reactions. They all like reggae and indie music and will come check out the computer if that is playing.

Anyone have music that their pigs absolutely cannot stand? I secretely hope my pigs would chatter their teeth at country music, but I don't dare put myself through that, even for the sake of experimentation

Gawd, that just begs a CW song about piggies, pickup trucks and honkey tonks...

My Piggy ran off with a Bloodhound, took my pickup for a ride, found them down by the roadhouse now my little piggie is going to be a shotgun bride!

Wel in a completly un-double blind experiment I discovered my pig liked the cow sounds in one of the pink floyd 'animals' tracks, had almost no interest in " Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" By Roger Waters, but fell into a deep happy bliss listining to the Indigo Girls self titled album.

In the rescue, during the day I play a local Jazz/talk station. Mainly because it's just too quiet in there and the pigs used to freak out when someone went in. This station has lots of talking and different types of jazz. I believe it's helped the pigs not to be so skittish.

Check out the link above, ( in post #12) and you will find out what my piggies felt, as well as the other wonderful members I did the "Sounds of Music" experiment with ! I would be very interested to know what you think !

I am constantly playing music in my room as well and have found that Stella is a lot more relaxed and less likely to get scared if I have music playing. I mainly play acoustic ish stuff when I'm working on photographs and stuff and she seems to lay in the open and relax with that kind of music. If I play anything a little more dancy, she will sometimes wheek along with it.

We have kids so there is always some sort of noise in our house. We don't let them have the TV on all the time but we do let them put on the radio or a CD. Our piggies seem to prefer certain kiddo CDs to others, they like the veggie tales theme song and a few of those but others they cannot stand and start chattering at. They also aren't a fan of people practicing the cello.

KD006 · Jan 6, 2012

Not one creature on earth is favoring people praticing Cello or trombone

Buggie_00 · Jan 6, 2012

Bwah ha ha ha thanks a lot KD006.

I'll have to tell my cello instructor that. Though at this point in my lessons, I have to agree with you, even I feel like I need earplugs.
