Usually it makes that noise because it is scared. If the guinea pig is a newcomer to your house, do not stress it be starting to play with it the minute the pet shop staff gives it to you. It doesn't know you, so be patient and let it gain your trust. ---- well not realy because my two ginea pigs squeek 24/7 there just talking to us
No, but the pig should be!
call a veterinarian and they will be able to answer the question for you
I have all three and I would say a guinea pig because they have a lot of strange characteristics like being a rodents but also diurnal.
Can be mites or lice. Get it treated.
Two possibilities: 1) nothing happens. 2) guinea pig is injured and you should visit the vet immediately. Carefully observe your pet and if you notice ANY strange behaviour (limping, strange movements, etc), then something is wrong. Remember, they have delicate, gentle bones.
Guinea pigs give off a squeaky purr noise when being held or pet. This also happens when they are happy.
Guinea pigs can have heart attacks by eating to much unhealthy food like us! But if your concerned about your guinea pig having a heart attack i recommend you to take your guinea pig to the vet!
Guinea pigs make strange sounds... Sort of like unhappy squeaking mixed with a screech.
well one thing is that your guinea pig would not run from you in a cage and would not bite you. My sister's guinea pig always squeaks when it hears something familiar of my sister. Like, the certain squeaky sound that her door makes. Also when she walks by. Another thing is that Trixi (the guinea pig) chatters or purs when my sis pets her, but only when my sis pets Trixi.
Put some moisturiser on their ears. It sounds strange but it does help. Guinea Pigs have very sensitive skin, especially on their ears where they can get sunburnt.
the guinea fowl is native in some part of the world, and there it would be considered "WILD" HERE IN THE U.S. THE chicken does not have the shape for the intercourse with the guinea...but strange things have happened...but not common
Guinea pigs are easily frightened, and you should avoid scaring them, but accidents do occur.Your guinea pig should be fine if it scares.
