The small grunts are either the guinea pig saying that its happy and comfortable where it is, or its the oppersite, its uncomfortable and is unhappy that you are holding it. If its squirming its the guinea pigs way of say "LET ME DOWN!". Although most guinea pigs seem to "sing" when they are quiet happy! And squeel when they are annoyed of uncomfortable.

Is okay to spray febreze around giuna pigs?

Can Guinea pigs eat smoked ham?

I have owned guinea pigs for that past 10 years, I have smoked around them for years now and they have all lived a full life. The last answer someone posted to this was total crap man. I deleted it because it had no relevance. Now, they said it would get Tar into their lungs. Now let me just add, Tar comes directly from the source (cigarette, cigar, pipe). They won't get tar in their lungs, they WILL get a little short of breath in a smoky room, BUT, they will be fine once the room clears. If its only you smoking in a room then the guinea pig will be fine, depending on the size of the room obviously. Carbon Monoxide causes them to lose breath a little, and it WILL affect them on the long run if you smoke a lot. Just, remember to have an air conditioner on. Also, I run a desk fan to blow my smoke away from the cage, also, remember its Best to smoke when its inside its house sleeping, that way its harder for the smoke to get at the guinea pig. I am very cautious on this though, that's why I run multiple electronics to keep the air around the cage clean such as: Air Purifier Air Conditioner A desk fan Air Ioniser with a Carbon Filter Now, all this might cost you a little but whats better, the health of your guinea pig or your pocket?
