Actually, when I pet my guinea pig on her head in a bacwards stroke, she kind of jerks her head in an upwards motion. I guess she either sees the darkness and wants you to move it, she thinks she is hiding and she thinks she is making the whole bigger, or she has a feel good sensation in her nerves and has a simple good feeling in her nerves.

Why do guinea pigs sqeack when you pet them?

Purrs are often made when you are stroking them or having them on your lap. My guinea pig does it all the time when I am stroking or rubbing her. However, do not get this confused with the "mate call". My guinea pig purrs because I will stroke his fur backwards (on purpose to make him purr) so it is like a chill to them.

Regular monitoring and follow-up with your vet are crucial for ensuring the well-being of your guinea pig.
