New *trick*

My boys just keep getting smarter! (and fatter but thats a different story.) My pigs will come over to me when I whistle a certain tune or when I say come here. Chewie comes when I say his name, they are like dogs, its like a stampede running over to me. Of course for all the hardwork they get a nice veggie treat.

*G* Cool. Mine have learned that they get a treat when I shut down my computer and get up. So whenever I do that, it's piggy mayhem in the cage. And I think they are beginning to react to their name. When I say "Bonnie, come here", she does - of course, Zirbel is already there long before her, and so maybe Bonnie just doesn't want to be left out in the cucumber orgy no matter what I say.

Mine have become programmed by the sound of plastic bags. Whenenver they hear plastic bags rustle in the kitchen, they come flying down the ramp to the bottom level and squeal thier heads off. All the produce I give them is in plastic produce bags - they know it's treat time when they hear that plastic.

Mine are keenly attuned to the sound of the drawer of my vegetable crisper in the fridge. Whenever I open it, they go berzerk. It makes cooking dinner for myself very entertaining, I usually have to stop and feed them before they turn themselves inside out!
