I absolutely LOVE music. I decided to let Muffin listen to some music to see what she likes. She seems to relax whenever I play soft songs and most oldies. I don't think she cares much about pop, and she doesn't like rap at all-- which is great because I HATE rap. I didn't show her country music yet, but I am planning to.


What type of music do your pigs or pig like? I would love to see all of the different responses. :eek: If you have never thought of letting your pig(s) listen to music, I highly suggest doing so. Guinea pigs are very unpredictable and it is a fun bonding experience. ;) (Just make sure the music isn't too loud)

Does the noise of a bag rustling count as music?

I don't think they react to music as much as the bass and the volume of the music. Mine don't like heavy bass.

Ha! Haven't thought of this, but I have definitely noticed different reactions to the TV. We watch different shows and they HATE Burn Notice- I assume because it has lots of gun/spy/explosions.

They do seem to perk up and get excited when our alarm (a song) goes off.. but that's only because they know it's breakfast!

Haha! That's adorable!!! My piggies hear when I get off my bed in the morning so they start wheeking for their breakfast. (Top off of fresh hay.) lol

Yup! Me too! Muffin loves watching TV. When her c&c cage used to be in my room and I watched a movie, I would look over at her and she would be laying down looking at the TV. I don't know if it was just a coincidence, but I thought it was adorable. :eek:

This sounds crazy, but my Wilbur likes 80s music. When he was a baby I had the song Jack and Diane playing he started bobbing his head and moving side to side.

Ferb doesn't like dinging or pinging or tapping sounds on TV, he makes keep away sounds. He also doesn't like Katy Perry's "Roar". He does seem to like most other music. I sing a lot in the kitchen and he wheeks along (because I'm in the kitchen he thinks he's getting a treat).
