well, not necessarily. She might just be falling asleep cause she enjoys being pet (guinea pigs only close their eyes for a few minutes when they sleep, then, their eyes pop back open. sometimes, their eyes dont shut at ALL) or, she may be scared or nervous.
you need to give it lots, and LOTS and love and attention. once you play with it or pet it they will start to "purr" which is like their happy noise. - sak :)
No, rabbits do not have the ability to purr.
Guinea pigs give off a squeaky purr noise when being held or pet. This also happens when they are happy.
It sounds like a cats purr! its great to hear guinea pigs purr, it meens they love you. please do not confuse it with growling. . . guinea pigs will not growl. Hope this helped i hope your guinea pigs purring for you. i have 2 that purr non stop! one purrs if i pet it, and the other purrs if it has food and i stroke him.
It doesnt harm anyone but why would you want to make out with your pet
This purring noice occurs when you pet a guinea pig too rough, and like you said, when loud noices such as the telephone or the dog barking startle it. It is basically just a noice it makes when it is startled.
Purrs are often made when you are stroking them or having them on your lap. My guinea pig does it all the time when I am stroking or rubbing her. However, do not get this confused with the "mate call". My guinea pig purrs because I will stroke his fur backwards (on purpose to make him purr) so it is like a chill to them.
Brushing their fur in the opposite direction is not a sign of purring ... they are growling, it can be painful. Mine sometimes purr when getting fed their favorite treat. It is not very often they purr but you may mistake this with a growl.
This means a guinea pig is experiencing pleasure, enjoyment, or excitement. You will hear this noise when you pet your guinea pig or feeding it a treat. If you hear this noise suddenly when you are not petting your guinea pig it is afraid or it feels threatened. They purr if they hear a loud noise: a telephone ring or a knock on the door.
You can purchase a guinea pig at a pet store or pet shop.
Most people think that cats/kitten purr when they are happy. Actually cats/kittens purr when u pet them because it means they are not threatened by you it doesn't actually mean they are happy
guinea pigs are just allot of time and money for what they are. they are not considered bad but I recommend a dog, cat pig or turtle! also a great pet is a pet rock (be sure to try it!) guinea pigs are not that bad but remember rock you don't have to pay for or feed so try it!!!!
