One of my guinea pigs has just started to make this noise. It occurs around the early am in the morning and usually wakes me up. But when I sit up, she stops. Both my guinea pigs are in heat though, so perhaps it is some sort of "love song"
My guinea pig Peanut is really cheeky and has learned that I when he chirps I usually respond in giving him some lettuce, so now he does it 24/7 :P But he only gets lettuce some times
This is wrong. No one knows why they do it. Experts say it happens when they're happy, sad, irritated, hungry, full, scared. In a new place, in a comfortable known place, night, day, to strangers, to owners. It happens during all possible scenarios and no one knows why. Some have concluded that it's just another noise they can make that they do just for the hell of it, like when you're bored and hum to your self.
at this moment, Iwi was indeed stressed. I tried to put her in an other group and she didn't like the other guinea pigs at all. Because she didn;t know what to do, she started to chirp. Directly after this video I put her back in har own cage.
BUT guinea pigs do chirp also because of nothing. I also hear guinea pigs starting toc hirp during their daily routine, while nothing scary of strange things are going on. So it can be both reasons, stressed but also without any good reason at all.
I think they do it when they want some company. My Puffkin does it when she wants some attention. If I don't give her enough attention during the day, she will chirp at night. And when I have some one pig sit her, she will do it while I am away.
She doesn't live with other pigs. She is bonded to her human (me :) ) and has refused to be paired with my other sows.
I'm not saying they do because they are lonely, just when they want some company. I have single pigs (live alone) who never chirp.
Your calling justlovetosmile your dumb. They Have technology that studies them and there noise and its not a guarentee that its right but they most likly are right. and besides just because she has a different opinion than you doesn't mean you have to call her dumb. There is no law that says she has to have the same opinion as yours.
OMG IT'S CURRY!

My sister's guinea pig just started this, shortly after I moved in with the only male guinea pig in the apartment. I say it's her love song.

Do you know that if a guinea pig is chirping it's stressed out. I researched on guinea pigs.
