If I'm not working I spend about 2-3 hours a day with the boys broken up in 15 minute sessions. So I'm in and out of the room all day.

I've noticed lately sometimes when I leave the room they follow me as much as they can in their cages and Stripe has been wheeking occasionally when I leave the room.

On days I work lately they seem to act up. Incessant bar biting for cookies. They are usually satisfied with me breaking off a tiny bit of cookie then that's all they get. On days I work they incessantly beg when I get home.

Were they lonely?
 
I wouldn't beat yourself up :)
Your piggies have obviously trained you well- you appear to be a walking, talking, guinea pig treat dispenser!
Whilst I'm sure they enjoy your company, I'd imagine they're missing the piggy cookies more than they're missing you...
That's just my take though, we'll see what the experts say. 🥰

Hi

Piggies are great manipulators! They have truly trained you well... :D

 
I think you guys are right. When I got home from work tonight I heard a ruckus and opened their door. They were both zooming away, not missing me at all!


All guinea pigs seem to have the ability to fool us …..we feel guilty ,is there enough food, are they drinking enough, is their environment right etc …..whereas we know really ….if there’s enough hay , hideys ,water and veg they’re fine and don’t miss us at all 😂
