I've had my piggie Ginger about 7 weeks now. She hardly ever wheeks, but for some reason last night she has started to wheek everytime we walk past her
cage. She has plenty of pellets, hay and water. I've given her her daily salad treats (and then some!). I don't know what she wants. I should
probably mention that she is also quite pregnant, if that has anything to do with it. (I didn't breed her, I got her that way, unknowingly!) I just feel
so bad because I feel like she is asking for something and I just don't know what!

Chances are, she's finally figured out that she gets good stuff from you, and when she hears you walk by, she wants to get your attention. She's also
probably feeling comfortable enough with her surroundings to bring attention to herself (prey animals don't want to draw attention from predators). My
girls can get pretty persistent sometimes! They wheek for treats, or sometimes wheek if I've given them the wrong treat (Mom, the lettuce was nice, but we
*really* wanted carrot), and sometimes they'll wheek when they want more hay. Many times, if they wheek after I've given them all I'm going to,
I'll pet them instead... and this usually stops the wheeking (Well, if all she's going to do is pet us, I'm not going to get her attention!).
Its possible something with the pregnancy is causing the weeking - pigs can wheek at the darndest things. And sometimes for no apparent reason at all! |

Just thought I'd mention(though this is slightly off topic), I also have a piggy named Ginger who is pregnant...and she came to me that way. xD
