Talking Piggy?
Pheobe tells me when she needs to pee, but I have to pay really close attention to her. Basically she´ll just start making these cute little squeaks and squirms around. When she´s in her giant hamster ball and needs to pee, she´ll make the same noise and will roll over to me as fast as she possibly can. It´s actually very endearing lol.
When she´s in her giant hamster ball...
um Houston, we have a problem here.
Those giant balls are really bad for guinea pigs.
Others will confirm this and explain it better than I can.
But from what I gather, pigs´ backs don´t arch that way
and the balls will inflict serious injury over time.

I know, i know.. unfortunately i found this out later than i should have, but it´s really not a problem, see, cause she doesn´t actually use it.. hehe.. more like just sleeping in it. I´ve heard all kinds of horror stories about hampster balls and guinea pigs, but she seems to thouroughly enjoy sleeping in there. I guarantee you, unless she has to pee, she will never move inside that thing, and i always keep her close so she doesn´t have to move too much. The main reason we bought her the ball was because she kept on getting herself into things she shouldn´t have been so we thought it would provide a solution, however, she´s a lazy pig and always will be. Plus we only use it once a week, when i clean the cage and can´t be there to watch during floor time, because i do feel really bad for her when she´s in it. Thanks for all your concern!
