Me trying to herd the Guinea pigs in!

[Hannah_xx]

Their new outside run is somewhat difficult to retrieve the pigs from! when transporting the pigs outside or to floortime I’ve always used they plush carry house, So luckily they know what it means when I plonk it in front of them ‘get in, we’re going somewhere fun or back home’. But they don’t always do what they’re told Thought I’d video It today, in the hope they’d go straight in as they look cute when they do so.. well it didn’t quite go so smoothly today..

They always seem to misbehave when they know you’re recording them

That’s the most entertaining film I’ve seen so far this year.

When I had my first 2 guinea pigs, Deedee and Meemee, I taught them how to get back to the house from their run in the garden. They've learned where the doors of the run and that when I open them, they know it's time to go back. And then later, as I got new piggies, the old piggies have taught the new ones. It was really one thing I was glad I taught them because they have a big run and it always was a trouble getting them back. Hopefully Sierra would manage to teach Rocky and Vegas. The only problem with them knowing all these, they sometimes just hang around the main door of the run when they don't want to stay outside. Sometimes after just 10mins they are there biting the door and looking at me.

Take note, I only let them do these when we put their run near our back door and not in the middle of the garden.

You're lucky they stayed in the plush carry house as mine would have jumped out as soon as another jumped in!

They were having such a good time outside they didn’t want to come in
Bill and Ted alway do this to me when it rains and I go outside to bring them in, I’ve got soaked many a time and muddy knees too trying to catch them

Aw looove this! I have this with my main herd when they are going in the playpen on cage clean days, some days its 6 piggies in the carry basket in 3 minutes just like in Wiebke's videos and I feel so smug and competent... other days I'm crawling around in a 26sqft C&C trying to keep my "happy voice" going while getting poops squished on my pyjama knees and between my toes trying to barricade Blodwen and Clover into a corner to catch them and they keep squeezing past my barricades and hiding under the loft!

This happens to me too, when I’m trying to get them out of their C&c cage and they KNOW that it’s difficult to reach under the loft so 2 of them have to be difficult and hide under there, meaning my knees and hands get covered in poop and my hair usually dangles in the hay meaning I then get a hay ponytail!

Herding pigs is soooo difficult!
