Whenever a sound occurs that is so loud that it hurts a guinea pig's ears the guinea pig may act stunned. Along with that, when hearing a very loud noise a guinea pig's ear(s) will twitch or flop up then down. Please note, that attempting to make the animals ear twitch with loud noises is seriously disrespectful to the animal and should never be done on purpose.

Why do guinea pigs bite other guinea pigs ears?

I have 4 guinea pigs and my ginger one bites the baby ones ears it obviously means that your guinea pig is just trying to show the other guinea pig who's boss if it doesn't stop in about 1 hour ether separate the cage into 2 parts if that doesn't help separate them completely they just wont get on. If you don't ,then they could get very hurt.

Do guinea pig bites hurt?

Depends if your sensitive or not. To me, it feels like a little nibble. But if you threaten a Guinea pig, they can go full-force bite on you. Just yesterday, I was feeding my guinea pig some spinich and I got to close to the spinich so it bite me, but it didn't bring blood. If you have a baby guinea pig, then it can hurt because their teeth hasn't been used to chew yet, bigger guinea pigs wont hurt as bad.


Do harmonicas hurt dogs' ears?

Aside: A similar question is often asked by folks when I practice my bagpipe chanter. I suspect it is a question of taste on their part and skill on my part without any true consideration of the dog's otic healthAnswer:A dog's ears hear essentially the same as we do with a better registering of higher end frequencies (in excess of 20K Hz) We call these frequencies "ultrasonic"Pain from sound is caused by air pressure from the pain (loudness). Noise levels of 85 db can cause hearing loss over time. Noise levels of 140 db can cause pain.A harmonica at its loudest is not in the painful range to the player (the closest set of ears) although it may be detrimental over the years. Sound levels fall off with every doubling of the distance, so at a dog's ear level the sound will be much reduced from that reported by the player's ears.As a test - consider that dogs can bark loud enough to hurt our ears Dogs ears are closer to the bark than our ears and the sound from their point of veiw is much louder. Barking does not harm a dogs ears.
