There are a number of reasons that your guinea pig is communicating to you in this way.
From experience with my guinea pigs I have found that:
1. My guinea pigs bite or pull my clothes mainly when they are trying to tell me that they would like to go back to their cage so that they can pee.
2. My guinea pigs sometimes bite my clothes when they are hungry or would like me to give them so fresh fruit and veg.
3. biting clothes could also be a sign that your guinea pigs teeth are too long and they have nothing to chew to shorten them. Guinea pigs teeth, like most rodents, never stop growing so they need to have so wood or chew sticks in their cage to bite so that their teeth are kept at a healthy length. If your guine pigs teeth are too long take immediately to the vets to have them cut so as not to cause discomfort for you piggie. [Apple tree twigs are really good for their teeth too! Don't get them of the groud or if they are sprayed with a pesticide, herbicide. A tip from Kenzie!!! ;} ]
Try not to let them nibble on your clothes because guinea pigs and ferrets can cough things up or make hairballs like cats. Therefore if they get any in their mouth and swallow then it is in them for good. If it gets stuck in their throat there is almost no way to get it out. Any fabric in the cage or on your guinea pig is not the best idea. Harnesses are OK if they aren't furry or fuzzy. Kenzie ;}
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.
If a guinea pig bites, it may be feeling scared, threatened, or in pain. It's important to stay calm and gently remove your hand to avoid further bites. It's also a good idea to observe the guinea pig for any signs of illness or stress that may be causing the behavior.
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.
Yes, there are specially made clothes and costumes available for guinea pigs. These include items like jackets, sweaters, and dresses that are designed to fit the unique body shape of guinea pigs and provide both warmth and style. It's important to ensure that any clothing items are safe, comfortable, and do not restrict the guinea pig's movement.
It is spelled "guinea pig". You got it right! :)
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.

most guinea pig bites dont need cleaning as they will lick them and are generally quite small however if your guinea pig does have a nasty wound that needs cleaning warm water will do the trick just give them a bath but dont have the water to deep until your guinea pig knows how to swim. (yes they can swim) if the wound doesnt seem any better or is particulary deep and open or becomes infected than take it to the vets.
