Junior Guinea Pig
Just wondering if our beloved Guinea Pigs see us humans as 'part of their herd'?
Also (and sort of related), earlier, I made a kind of kissing noise with my lips, a few times to Bramble, while he was eating his hay, and while I was doing this, he suddenly started moving his head quickly from side to side while staring straight at me, and making little squeaking sounds, like he was very worried/agitated! Then he ran and jumped onto his shelf, as if he was scared of the strange new noises I was making and wanted to get away!
The two other pigs, who we haven't had that long 6 months (whereas we've had Bramble since he was a baby, for around a year and a half) didn't seem that bothered by Brambles' behaviour, although Rusty did come to see what was wrong with Bramble, after a few seconds of him 'freaking out'!
I left the room just after that episode to let my husband know what had happened, and when I came back in, Bramble was back in his hay as if nothing had happened!
Has anybody else had this experience before?
