Speaking of wheeking - I'm convinced it's something that Wedgwood will never do. She is a master whiner. I've never had a guinea pig whine so much. I recall my mother threatening me I'd have kids that whined as much as I did. I swear I wasn't this bad....
Gone are the days Wedgie would bolt at everything. She often sleeps in the open and barely bats an eye as I walk by the cage. She's not mean to Boadi all the time - generally they get along together. But I think her lingering attitude is from a lack of guinea pig socialization earlier in her life. She's the exact opposite with humans - obviously she's always been handled a lot. She never struggles, has never tried to bite me and is relaxed when I hold her. I trust handing her over to anyone because she so good at being held. That pig gets picked up a lot (especially when she's being a nudge). Everyone loves her.

I tell people it takes guinea pigs up to six months to settle into a new household. What I see now is likely Wedgwood's true personality. She can be a bit of a diva and a bit of a twit. She's a good snuggler and a big talker. She's certainly entertaining!
she's lucky to find you and Boadi
ReplyDeleteYou know to accept her as she is!
don't you love the variety of character amongst piggies? I love the chatty ones, even if they're whining :)
