They have so unique colours, i mean the nose is a very pretty brown and even their claws are this very pretty colour which i've never encountered before. I also love how excited and full of energy they are, it warms my heart.
Man I wish I could get another pair of reet-rats, they are the funniest and sweetest pets, if you have the patience and time to bond with them and spend with them. Money, too.
As someone who owns guinea pigs myself, I just want to say that this pig sounds like they're pretty stressed out! They look like they're trying to find somewhere to hide, and they even let you know that they're upset by tugging on the fabric near the end. Mine tend to tug on my shirt or the towel I have them sitting on when they want to go back to their cage. You know your pig better than I do, as I'm just an internet stranger only seeing a small window of their life, but I just thought I'd leave a comment to let you know my interpretation! Not trying to sound like one of those crazy people that scream "YoU'rE aBuSiNg ThE aNiMaL" or anything like that.
@@Ex1st3nt Purring and clucking/chirping sounds are not exclusive to cats and birds. Also, as keithwood said, words like these can have multiple meanings or associated sounds. You'd be surprised at the kinds of sounds that guinea pigs can make!
This guinea pig is very distressed, and is trying to find some way to escape and hide. My piggies often act like this when they need to potty. A lot of guinea pigs, due to them being small prey animals, don't like to be out in the open, and especially with bright lighting. Something you could do to make the guinea pig more comfortable would be to get a hankerchief/bandana and lay it over them, so that they know that if they feel anxious they can hide and feel safe. The sounds the guinea pig is making are called complaining noises. They also make that sound when another pig is trying to mount them for dominance and they're submitting as to avoid harm. Another thing, when a guinea pig tugs on something, like how this one did, it means they want to go back in their cage, often because they need to potty, and guinea pigs often feel uncomfotable pottying out in the open, just as most humans do, because it leaves them vunerable.
