If your guinea pig is biting, it might be do to one of two reasons. Either your guinea pig thinks that your fingers look tasty, or he doesn't feel safe and feels the need to defend himself. If it is the first case, I would recommend keeping your fingers away from his mouth, if it is the later problem, I would say that you should continue to handle him regularly in a quiet room. When you handle a guinea pig, it is important to make slow movements to be certain he knows what is happening. I find that talking in a low quiet voice while petting slowly and softly helps make the guinea pig feel more at ease.
guinea pigs will do what they want, until they are trained otherwise. If it bites you say, "bad pig", but not too loud (you don't want to hurt their ears).
It could have irratated skin. Maybe you should change mulch or the food.
By bad guinea pig do you mean it bites? A guinea pig will only bite if it feels threatened, scared or hurt.
it will squeek
If the guinea pig is not bleeding its okey but if it is then see your vet asap.
guinea pigs bite them self because they are itchy SO GIVE THEM A BATH
: I have had my guinea pig for about 8 months now and 6 months ago i put a new guinea pig in with her they got on fine but after about 2 weeks my female guinea pig turned on the new one and would not let it in its sleeping area no more.After i separated them i notice my female guinea pig had gained a lot of weight ! and was eating a drink a lot more. But when i get her out of the cage and feel her belly she doesn't bite me she bites my top or summing in front of her. this has been going on for about a month now.Thank you=== ===
no you shouldn't be scared
no ive never known guinea pigs bite
Um mm... my guinea pig loves me a lot so yea
matters if the guinea pig has rabies or is wild. my concern is make sure to go to the doctor and get it checked out just to be on the safe side
Guinea pig bites are very rare. If your guinea pig bites you, it may be because you are holding him/her in a uncomfortable position. If you are holding hin comfortably, check over his body and make sure he hasn 't got any bites/scratches that may be irritating him. A guinea pig may also bite/nibble if it is hungry and you have a food scent on your hands.
Take it to a vet if it does.
That is normal with Guinea Pigs. It is their way of self defense. Like in the wild, some animals grab them by the feet, so they bite. You can stop it by not touching his feet otherwise it will annoy him a lot
