Piggy chatters teeth in anticipation of food.

[Wheeky]

When I come upstairs with the plate of food, this particular pig chatters at me right up until the food is placed into the cage.

Do other pigs do this or is it just mine being rude? ("Hurry up with my sandwich, woman!" - that kind of rude.)

PS: Bonus point for anyone who can guess which of my boys this question is about. rolleyes

Occasionally, one of my piggies will do so, especially when I'm just waffling and not getting going quickly enough!

PS: I have a very good idea which piggy starting with E. is the one in question...

Stripes (RIP) only ever chattered his teeth for his food, he never bothered wheeking, he let Spike do all the hard work!
It did get him the nick name Mr Grumps!

Smokey does this, the little blighter. Although to be fair, he can't seem to wheek very well - it comes out hoarse. (He can do all the other noises okay).

The first time he did it, I was trying to switch them back to nuggets from muesli. He took one sniff and started chattering his teeth. Oi! I'm not having this, where's my muesli!
