Why do guinea pigs vibrate when you hold them?

When you are petting your guinea pig, and it makes a noise, that's called purring (like cats but a lower volume) and then their body vibrates, that means it's content with however you are petting them.I have a guinea pig named Chelsea (just got her today) and she does this every time I hold her. It's adorable!It is like purring which is actually a strong vibration of their heart because it beats faster than ours does.

Why do guinea pigs flutter?

If by "flutter" you mean they make a kind of purring sound, they are happy. My guinea pig purrs all of the time...when he sees me coming, when I pet him, when I give him a treat, and even when I talk to him. He'll start doing the "piggy dance" and swaying from side-to-side, all while purring to my hearts' content. Guinea pigs have many ways of showing that they are happy and content, purring or fluttering is just one of them.


What does a purring noise mean in a guinea pig language?

This means a guinea pig is experiencing pleasure, enjoyment, or excitement. You will hear this noise when you pet your guinea pig or feeding it a treat. If you hear this noise suddenly when you are not petting your guinea pig it is afraid or it feels threatened. They purr if they hear a loud noise: a telephone ring or a knock on the door.

Are other female guinea pigs ok in the cage with guinea pig babies and the mother?

I would not recommend it. Just have the Mother Guinea Pig in with her babies separately. Sometimes the other guinea pigs can get excited and accidentally stomp the babies to death so best to keep Mom & babies separate.
