2 Sounds and Noises

---

Good Sounds: You are doing it right! :)

Wheeking Common vocalization generally communicating anticipation and excitement, particularly about being fed, or in response to the presence of its owner.

Wheeking is considered to be a form of begging, in some cases mostly heard in the morning and the evening (associated with feeding time).

Sometimes it serves as a call for an attention as they frequently call to their human slaves.

One can often hear this sound when owner opens refrigerator or is rustling with plastic bags which guinea pig usually links to food source.

Bubbling or Purring Cavy is enjoying itself/being happy (e.g. when being petted or held).

Can be also produced when given food, grooming, or crawling around to investigate a new place.

NOTE: Beware of the purring pitch and body language which complements this guinea pig sound category and could change original meaning (if the purr is higher pitched toward the end, and your pet seems to vibrate and tense, this could be interpreted as a sound of annoyance).

Grazing Calming, relaxing sound of guinea pig grazing hay.

Noise of spreading hay around with the animal's front feet can be heard in the background.

TIP: Before going to work, provide your pet with fresh dose of hay, put the cage near you and enjoy morning meditation :)

Chirping Possibly the least understood or heard guinea pig sound.

Sound pattern similar to bird song.

Could be related to guinea pig messing with you.

Beer please This sound has nothing to do with what you think it has to do.

Loosely translated, it means "Can I have some beer please!"

It is often heard when putting the guinea pig on the starfighter in space-battle situations.

It is reported that complying with this translation saves the owner some fingers.

NOTE: It is NEVER recommended to give your guinea pig a beer if not on the starfighter in space-battle setting.
