Why does your guinea pig make purring noises and shiver when you're petting him?
I have a guniea pig... When he makes those noises he is happy.. Its like a happy shivering.. when he gets angry he chatters his teeth.. then again all guniea's are different and you cant really tell what he does.. I have read in many sites and books that the purring noise and shivering means one of 2 things, 1 its horny or 2 its angry, either that or he is just cold so he shivers. But if he was happy he would make a high pitch squeak squeak sound.

They do have a sensitive spot on your back, and when you hit it while brushing or petting too hard, they will squeal. this normally means the guinea pigs happy and realaxed
What type of sound does a guinea pigs make?
Piggies make a variety of sounds. The most common are 'mutters' which sound just like the piggy is talking to itself quietly....no one really knows why they do this but it's normal. They will also squeak, both quietly (just to complain, if their mates are bothering them, or if you do something they don't like), and they will squeal really, really loudly, this serves almost entirely to get YOUR attention (if they're hungry, thirsty, lonely). They will also make a low 'purring' sound, which seems to be a sign of relaxation, or contentment, such as when they are being pet, or just happy. a squek

Why do guinea pig squeak?
Actually, guinea pigs have a wide range of what are called "vocalizations." They cannot talk like humans, but they can use various noises to make you aware of their emotional state. The squeak, which also sounds like a high-pitched squeal, can demonstrate excitement-- you might hear it when the guinea pig thinks it's about to be fed or is ready to play; but if it's very sharp, sudden, and high-pitched, it may mean your guinea pig is afraid or upset. Other common sounds are purring-- if it's a deep sound like a cat, it can signify happiness or contentment; a shorter and higher-pitched purr shows nervousness. A hissing sound represents anger, especially if the guinea pig is also showing its teeth. There is also a chirping sound some guinea pigs make, but scientists are not entirely certain what it represents-- possibly sadness, or uncertainty.

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.
