[Gpdd] behavior--vocal piggy

Sat Feb 21 01:02:53 EST 2009

Dana has officially lost her mind if she thinks she's a bad piggy mom just 
because Inca (the new girl in her life) goes vocal just cause the fridge 
door opens or a bag rustles.  I just told Dana the other day about how  my 
Winnie looks like Dumbo when the same thing happens--her ears vibrate when I 
open the fridge door, she gets so excited, & she's incredibly vocal!  Dana 
is the best piggie mom out there--she has my Molly's 2 little girls, Mina & 
Lucy, with her Penny as their adoptive mom, & now with Inca.

Dana, you don't need to jump up every time Inca wheeks for food--my girls 
have lived very nicely thru the dry spells where I haven't been there to 
give them the required salads, or when Colleen hasn't been home to fill in 
for me.  We make up for it later on-they forgive us!  Deb, Molly, Emma, 
Winnie & Lily

>> Hi Jean and the many misfits,
>>
>> I have to long haired piggies, one male and one female. (actually they 
>> are
>> father/daughter). I like to clip the hair on their rumps as close to the
>> skin as I can. I go from the back of the hips all the way down. Also with
>> the male (Marian) I clip the hair around his testicles so as to help keep
>> that area cleaner. It can be hard clipping that area so I suggest getting
>> an extra set of hands.
>> I find that they both need a bath more often then my others. Brushing 
>> them
>> always helps keep their skin clean and healthy.
>>
>> Sometimes the hair on the rest of their body needs some trimming also so 
>> I
>> use my fingers as a scale by getting some hair between my index and 
>> middle
>> finger and clip the hair level with the top of my finger.( Hope that made
>> sense) It gives them a nice look and keeps the hair short.

> Hello all!
>
> Back in early December we welcomed a new member to our little family of
> Guinea Goddesses: Pomona (aka Mona). She's the sweetest little critter, 
> and
> a real snuggle-bunny. Where Isis is neurotic and Mimi is spastic, Mona is
> just a happy-go-lucky little thing. When she popcorns, the rolls amost
> entirely over onto her back and kicks her feet in the air...it's 
> hilarious.

> Here are some blog posts my boyfriend made about her (and our other two
> girls):

> http://dragonchasers.com/2008/12/08/more-guinea-pigs/

> And some pictures of Mona being adorable:

> Mimi
> http://dragonchasers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/oh_hai.jpg
>
> The real reason I wanted to tell you all about Mona is that she doesn't
> "wheek" like Mimi and Isis do. Isis was a pretty quiet youngster, but she
> did start singing for her supper after just a couple of months. Mimi's
> always been a little chatterbox. Mona, however, makes this "psssssht!
> psssssht!" sound instead -- we call her our leaky radiator pig.
>
> She does make little "boop!"s when she's running around, and they almost
> always punctuate a landing (coming off the top of her house, between 
> bounces
> while she's running laps around her cage or on the couch during play time,
> etc.). She has no problem purring at me or Peter, or rumblestrutting at 
> her
> favorite playmate, Mimi (who's nearly 3 times Mona's size...she's an
> eater!).
>
> It's almost as if Mona is hoarse or something...or maybe she's just 
> wheeking
> at a frequency we can't hear. Has anyone else encountered a pig like this?
> And if so, will her verbal communications become more mainstream as she
> grows up?
>
> ...Not that they have to.  :)  We think our leaky pig is just fine the way
> she is, but we're both curious about whether or not this is common.
