He might be lonely but if you think he might be sick try spending more time with him and cuddling him before you get him a friend but he might beat up the friend or get him/her sick. If he continues to act this way see a vet =(
She is probably lonely.
Squealing in guinea pigs can indicate fear, pain, or excitement. It's important to pay attention to the context in which the squealing occurs to understand what your guinea pig might be trying to communicate. If the squealing is accompanied by other signs of distress, it's best to consult a veterinarian.
guinea pigs get what they want by peeing on people,biting,or high pitched squealing.
squealing or squeaking or a high pitched sound of discontent.
I used to have guinea pigs to, and they do just squeak on and on forever intill u guve them food, but then after, they squeak again. What I've thought is that's just their way of talking to each other.
The name "guinea pig" is believed to have originated from the fact that these small animals were originally brought to Europe from the South American country of Guinea. The term "pig" in the name is likely due to the squealing sounds they make that are similar to a pig.
consistently holding her and cuddling her. Also lots of carrots--they will come to the side of the cage squealing for them
I first did some research on the cost of food, bedding, caging, diseases, and positive things about guinea pigs. Then I told them that I wanted a guinea pig, did some research, and wanted to see what they thought. We worked out a deal, so July 1, 2010 I will be getting two girl guinea pigs.
yeah
They do like company and would definitely prefer another guinea pig with them.
Only to another guinea pig of the opposite sex.
No, I doubt it. I do have a friend who has a rabbit and guinea pig in the same hutch but guinea pigs are more friendly to there own species; especially if they're from the same litter.
