My guinea pig noises

Peanut on Behavior - Sun, December 23 2007

I make lots of sounds! I make my chutt chutts and wheeps wheeps and my purrrrrrs. Only, my daddy gets confused with what noises mean what. Can somebody help him get them right?

Peanut i can't really ex. them to you but if like some one is walking to you when your in your cage and you start making sounds like high to low or low to high or grinde your teath thoughs can mean your happy i think. if you grinde your teath and make a low sound at the same time that means your scared.
but guinea pigs use a lot of the same sounds for a lot of stuff their learn it some day!

Mom has had guinea pigs all her life until she developed a bad allergy. She can't breathe, or something.... anywho, Nemo did a great job explaining the sounds! Those loud "WEEE WEEEs" mean the want something and want it now. Lettuce? a carrot? an apple? Whatever Peanut likes. Maybe even a snuggle. If Peanut makes that purring sound it's a sound of uneasiness. Is Peanut scared? mad? ticked-off? Guinea pigs are pretty transparent when it somes to their feelings. Just pay close attention to Peanut and you'll get the jist of all of those noises! Have fun!!!
