What does it mean if your rabbit makes a yelp sound?

Answer 1

It mostly means that they wont be friends. You should separate them so they don't hurt each other. They could be scared of each other or they don't like one another. If their 2 males they are probably going to fight.

It depends on many factors. If they are displaying dominance (gender is not an issue, girls and boys do this), it's called 'rumble strutting' which consists of the pig moving very slowly, almost vibrating because of the deep rumbling sound he/she makes and moving his/her bum very high in the air. What usuall follows this is a nip to the pig they are aiming it at, and perhaps a fight. However, I own two males who rumble strut at each other all the time, but they get along just fine and there haven't been any signs of violence - their ears are perfect. Keep an eye out for any bites on your pigs ears, or their backs and if there are, you need to separate them immediately.

Another reason for rumble strutting is that the male/female wants to mate with the other one. Males normally take it upon themselves to practise this at least once a day, but for females it's actually an indication that they're in heat, so they will proceed to sexually harass their cagemate. Make sure that your pigs are the same sex; there are many articles on the internet with images that can help you.

This last bit isn't entirely unrelated, but if a pig is really happy about you stroking them in the right way when you're handling them, they will make the deep rumbling sound.

Hope I helped.

Answer 2

Rabbits growl when they're angry, as a warning sign before they attack. A rabbit growl is closed-mouthed and quiet compared to predator animals (cats, dogs, etc.), but if you're nearby you can hear it loud and clear. Not all rabbits growl: some rabbits are "vocal" and others are quiet - it depends on their personality. See the related question and link below for more information about rabbit communication.

Some specific examples of why a rabbit might growl:

• if one male growls at another, it is challenging the other to fight - keep them separated because rabbits can fight to the death!
• if it is alone in it's cage and growls when someone approaches, if it's female, she could have kits and she's trying to protect them or if it's male or female, it is territorial
• if a rabbit growls at you, that means it's angry at you: stop whatever you're doing and leave the rabbit alone - see the question below about stress for more information and links

Answer 3

it means that they wanna be left alone that their irritated

It could mean that they are irritated, sometimes a doe will grunt when they want to let you (or the buck) know they are already bred.

Answer 4

They do. They will growl as a warning to you to leave them alone or get out of their space. They will also make growling noises at each other when they want to be left alone.
