We got a new shipment today and guess who climbed down her cage to check it out and claim the box.?Husband flipped the box over her and took a video of the box moving and she did her famous beep. She's a character.

That's too cute!! At first it looks like the box is moving on it's own, lol

Hahahahahaha! Just seeing this one! The box really does look like it's moving itself!

And her beep is a sweet sound. Neither of my ekkies makes that particular noise.

Hahaha, absolutely love it. Pebbles has made the same beep recently, only a few times though, is this a new noise for Venus?

I've been wondering if the "beep beep" is an Ekkie call but I think Venus learned it. I recently saw another female Ekkie and her call was so loud and "brash", it hurt my ears. I now understand what Ekkie owners are speaking about. Venus only beeps like in the video. I'm thankful though lol!

but I think Venus learned it.

I adopted Pebbles, so it's possibly a learned noise (assuming Pebbles was exposed to the same noise also), but I've listened to Venus's "beep beep" a few times again just now and Pebbles was definitely making the same noise. I haven't heard it prior to her getting hormonal, and she has only made it a few times, so if I had to guess, I would say it's a natural sound.

Either way, I much prefer it to Pebbles ear shattering noise she occasionally does:eek:

Cheers,

Cameron

My Husband made her "beep beep" a ring tone, lol. The looks from people are priceless.

That is hilarious! Haven't heard that sort of "beep" from my Ekkies! Great idea for a ring tone!!
