Best Answer

Sometimes Guinea pigs chatter their teeth to display anger. If a guinea pig is chattering its teeth, that usually means it is feeling territorial or upset. If your guinea pig does this to another guinea pig, separate them. Careful, sometimes tame guinea pigs can become aggressive while chattering, and will bite.

Guinea pigs purr when they are very happy or exited. Males will do this if they see a female guinea pig, and they will also do this to you if you have a strong enough bond with them. Females may do this to one another if one female has been seperated from the group, and has just returned. They may also do it at their feeding time.

Hope this helped.

Good Luck.

What kind of guinea pig is better male or female?

Well, it really depends, see, if you are planning on getting two guinea pig's it's not the best idea to get two males.. They tend to fight. So if you are planning on getting two guinea pig's I suggest that you get either two females or a female and a male. But, if you get a male and a female , they can have baby's but females usually only have baby's after about 4months of age. But if you are planning on getting just one guinea pig, both males and females are great!
