Barking!!!

Boo wont stop barking! It's not for attention because i'm in the room with her, she's out the cage atm and running around my sofa. But she wont stop barking ... i'v tried to stroke her and calm her down but she's just barking. Peeka is a little scatty but not making any noise. I don't know whats up with her :S

mine do this but stop when i talk to them. As far as I'm aware, suggies bark either for attention or warn others of potential danger. I would guess that you have 'up' your attention giving even more lol perhaps have a bag of treats handy hehe

Don't reward barking, if you don't want them to train you to come running with treats every time they start in at 3am

sooooo true, mine bark at night when they want me to play with them (regardless of how much iv played with them during the day) and i just shine a torch at their cage or get up and sayy shhhh and they ususually stop or i copy the happy noises they make and then they are like 'ohhh shes happy and she loves us lets tell her we love her too' so then they do it (and trust me i can sleep through those noises alot better than barking!).

suppose its my fault for having them in my room though!! haha but i love them to bits <3

Ooops, I didnt mean to suggest to reward barking :s mine never bark when they're outta the cage, so I'd assume that they're after even more attention if they do. You perhaps you could reverse psycology them and ignore them lol
