theory on chirping
We heard one of our boys chirp for the first time last night. The long haired pigs had had a bath, and were in a totally odd mood last night - much chasing and humping (they're normally incredibly lazy). In the end, once the lights went out, they calmed down, but about 10 minutes later, someone (not sure who) started chirping - this was at about midnight.
Was quite excited to hear a chirping pig.

I had chirping happening at about 1:00 this a.m. I only woke up briefly to hear it, but I know exactly who it was as there is only one pig left in my office for quarantine right now. That crazy Steely Dan.
I just had a "first".
I am holding Steely Dan for lap time while I read through the threads tonight and amazingly, he started chirping right here in my lap! What a neat experience. He is very relaxed and his whole little body gently bounces up and down while he does it.
Wow. That was cool. Well, he has just peed on me, so I guess laptime is over.

So have everyone's pigs been chirping over the last couple of days? Cocoa has been going nuts. I'll be standing there giving them food, or just looking in the cages, and she'll just start up. Staring right at me. I can even pet her while she's going. But if I try to pick her up, she stops and runs. So weird.
Sorry to dredge this up - but last night Baci chirped again. She always does it between 4-5am but only once every few months. She does it for a few minutes. I watched her last night and her eyes were open but she was in a trance and wiggling her butt. I just played Nina's sound and they both ran to their hidey house. I feel like it's something bad, like a nightmare, and it worries me. Pichu never chirps.
I personally think the chirping is them contacting the mother ship.
