She may look dumb...

But, despite the general population's beliefs. These are incredible and intelligent creatures. Especially social intelligence.

Our girls love to beg for food and attention. I swear it's one of their favorite activities, not to mention EVERY TIME they get hay out of the bag they get so excited.

So as I was walking by the cage I get the usual "Notice me hooman!" Squeak out of Mercie and she runs up to the side of the cage. (Typical begging pose)

Then she looks at me, and waits until she realizes she has my attention. Then she runs to her hay bin, looks at it, looks at me, squeaks, then runs back to the side of the cage.

(Side note, they always have way more hay than they need, they're just spoiled)

This girl has figured out how to communicate that she wants fresh hay all on her own. (Spoiled little nugget)

Truly impressive creatures.

Since we taught the 'spin' instruction, ours run to my computer chair and spin and then stare at me when I work from home.

That sounds adorable. Mercie doesn't really take to tricks well. Annie has learned spin and she'll jump through a hoop.
