Well Alby and Fudge never had the best start in life before I homed them. They don't like being handled much as weren't used to it, and they used to run and hide any time I cleaned the cage etc.
However now they chatter their teeth loudly at me when I spot clean their cage. Cheeky piggies. I can't even pick them up inside a tubey tunnel now as they have cottoned onto the fact if I get them in there it means they are getting picked up. :evil: I need to take veggies for them to be nice to me. It's very very difficult for me to pick them up. :flag:
 
They are pests. Lol. I can't believe they have started chattering their teeth at me, after all they r spoilt piggys now. The cheek. :doh:

It is quite upsetting though as I hoped they would have got more settled by now. :(

When floor time is over and my boys need to go back, I have to chase them while trying not to laugh because little Walter thinks he's tough and chatters at me while running away!
 
That sounds adorable. :) Now whenever I walk into the room my piggies are in, they squeak. Nothing's wrong- they just want vegetables. Not to mention if my parents walk by the door they start squealing. :hb:
 
They sound like they want you do drop the veg, kick it over and back away haha!
what naughty piggies. Hope its short lived. Fancy threatening to bite the hand that feeds :cool:
 
Naughty boys! Just keep up the gentle quiet hand-feeding, so they get used to you. Talk to them so they know your voice. If you don't trust them to be stroked, try using a long-handled brush at first. I'm sure they'll come around eventually. I am guessing that you haven't had them very long?
 
Yes I've had them since the 6th of June. lol. Don't think they were handled much before I got them. They used to just freeze and be terrified all the time. Now I think they are becoming more confident. So aren't afraid to challenge me. It's hard work trying to get them out for lap/floor time. As they know I used the tunnel to pick them up and now refuse to go in it if I am in the room. The little monkeys. I don't think they will bite as they aren't nasty piggys just very very cheeky. I will just keep up with the hand feeding and hope they come around. Lol.
