I kind of feel like they were talking about me. Maybe plotting.

He loves being in hay. Big piles of it. Sometimes he burrows. Sometimes he makes a nest. He always popcorns when it's fresh hay time. Always.

I love my little hay monster.

Rupert (white) has always been pretty tame. Maybe because I only had him for the first few weeks so I carried him around nonstop.

Turtle, on the other hand, is semi-feral. I think he tolerates pets because he just hates to see his brother get a snack without him.

Times like these I forget he tries to lunge at my throat on the reg.

I normally pick the tunnel in person so I can pick a good one, but I've been sick so I put in an online order. My instructions were to get me the widest one because "my guinea pig is fat." Looks like they picked a good one!

I got lettuce for tomorrow so I don't have to worry about Turtle trying to finish the job.

Maybe their fighting is all an act, and they get along when they think I'm not looking.

He was so busy bickering with Turtle and pulling all the hay out of his boxes that it slipped his mind until just now.

When I first adopted him (he and his guinea pig family had been dumped at the local shelter), he was so tiny and scared.

He would hide all day, but at night, he would come out and throw parties. He didn't know I had a cam on him and could see all his shenanigans. I loved watching him then, and I still love it now.

It just melted my heart. I love seeing them feel safe.

Turtle has always been a bit less relaxed, but here lately he's been a real couch potato.

My little hay monster just loves being in hay. It's his happy place. As soon as I open the box to give them fresh hay, he starts popcorning like crazy. How could I deny him that joy?

Since I've had them, over a year, I feed Rupert first in his bowl on one side of the cage. Turtle runs to his own bowl on the opposite side and waits for his kibble.

No issues.

But starting this past week, when I go to feed them, Turtle's bowl has been right next to the hidey he's been using instead of its usual place. Every time.

I got curious as to why his bowl is suddenly not where it's supposed to be, so I checked my cams, and he's dragging it over so he can lounge and eat!

Does anyone else's pig do this?

(In this clip, he had already moved it a little and then got distracted I guess. This is from when he went to finish the job.)

These two piglets love to bicker loudly all day. They each get in a hidey, face each other, and then argue about life, I guess. This is just a short clip. They do this for loooong stretches of time.

I love listening to them.

They're next to my TV so sometimes, if I'm listening to music or watching a movie, they get LOUD. If I turn down the volume, they get quiet like they were talking about me and don't want me to hear. Rude little potatoes.

Does anyone else have a pair that bickers all day?

He makes me so happy.

I was having a sad sack day, and I thought, "What would make me feel better?" And the answer was snack time with Rupert. (He got pea snacks, and I got crackers.)

He got a little grumpy because he got too many kisses and not enough pea snacks. But I had to remind him that love is a two way street.

He may be a bird. Just look at that nest.
