It’s what we think they think. I notice this with mine, especially Jersey. Our main interaction with them is feeding them so they kinda associate seeing you as food time. Even though they could go eat hay at any time. It’s hard to not give food everytime. I try hard not to with Jersey and give her head pets instead sometimes. Then she goes off, sometimes sulks. But if I peek in at her after I’ll see her having some hay. Rumballs pretty easy and not such a beggar.

Lol that’s so true. If I walk past my buns and I’m not carrying a red box of raisins, they thump at me.
