Answer 1

Guinea pigs communicate with both sound and body language. When walking around together in the cage, or on the floor, they will often times squeak and grunt as they move about, which is a sign of general contentment. If a guinea pig, particularly a baby, gets lonely, it will squeal loudly, asking for reassurance. Guinea pigs that are housed alone will often make this sound, requesting human contact from their owners. The guinea pig will also squeal loudly when it suspects that food is on the way. This begging for food is reserved exclusively for humans.
Guinea pigs also squeal when they feel that they are in danger, which acts as a warning to others in the herd. This squeal is typically more panicked than the squeals for attention or food, and several squeals may be emitted in rapid succession.

When you pet a guinea pig, you will often times begin to hear it squeak or grunt, or even coo softly. These are sounds of contentment and pleasure, are are one of the main reasons why guinea pigs are so adorable as pets. If, however, you touch an area that they don't like (such as the sides of the tummy in a pregnant female, or the very bottom of any cavy), you might hear a rumbling sound, which serves as a warning. This rumbling is also made by guinea pigs when they hear sounds that they do not like (such as your upstairs neighbors banging on the floor, or a sharp snare drum on the radio), or when they want to warn others when something "isn't quite right".

When two females meet, the lower rank one might address the other with a rumbling rattle that sounds like the male arousal sound. The lower rank female will lower her head, thus asking for a truce from the more dominant sow. Sometimes, the dominant sow may feel threatened by this act, and will respond with angry chattering. In both male and female guinea pigs, this teeth chattering is the precursor to a fight, and nasty bites can follow if no one backs down.

The low, constant, rumbling rattle that a male makes when aroused is definitely a sexual behavior, but some males and females will often engage in mounting activities as an expression of dominance. Females may mount females of a lower rank, or even the male. Of course, when a sow is in heat, she will make this same purring to signal the male that she is ready for mating.

When your guinea pigs are in high spirits, you may see them leap straight up into the air while curving their backs, or run across the floor and make several shorter leaps in rapid succession. This jumping, commonly referred to as "popcorn jumping", or just "popcorning", is the sign of a healthy and happy guinea pig, and is one of the real gems in guinea pig behavior.

Answer 2

Wheek - A loud noise that is essentially onomatopoeic, also known as a Whistle. An expression of general excitement, it may occur in response to the presence of its owner or to feeding. It is sometimes used to find other guinea pigs if they are running. If a guinea pig is lost, it may wheek for assistance.
Bubbling or Purring - This sound is made when the guinea pig is enjoying itself, such as when being petted or held. They may also make this sound when grooming, crawling around to investigate a new place, or when given food. Rumbling - This sound is normally related to dominance within a group, though it can also come as a response to comfort or contentment. While courting, a male usually purrs deeply, while swaying from side to side and circling the female.
Chutting and Whining - These are sounds made in pursuit situations, by the pursuer and pursuee, respectively. Chattering - This sound is made by rapidly gnashing the teeth together, and is generally a sign of warning. Guinea pigs tend to raise their heads when making this sound.
Squealing or Shrieking - A high-pitched sound of discontent, in response to pain or danger.
Chirping - This less-common sound seems to be related to stress.

Answer 3

Since shes a breeder she should know Guinea Pigs are usually full of mites, and they are very painful, even the most gentel touch can cause pain, it probably has nothing to do with you, and most breeders don't care for their pigs properely, and they come from horriable living conditions. Guinea pig breeders are stupid putting the female in danger of dying during birth, because they really have a hard time at it. Anyone who breeds cats, pigs, dogs, and don't know what they are doing needs their head examined.

Always adopt, stay away from breeders especially for guinea pigs, they are in it for the money and usually sell sick pigs. Petsmart and Petco sell sick pigs as well. Usually from breeders and bad conditions.

Your pig is probably infested with mites, you can't see them they live under the skin, and need treated with Ivermectin.

they even have not figures out precisely what this chirping sound is regardless of the indisputable fact that it truly is understood it truly is a mating call. some the way it does make on condition that for that reason as she is secure below the mattress mimicking burrowing, and then calling out for a mate. delight in as no longer all and sundry gets to pay attention their guinea pig chirp, to me this says you have made her greater effective than happy.

Don't worry. Guinea pigs are by nature sweet but very nervous creatures. He's just a little scared or unsure of things. Usually they calm down after getting to know you but they are happiest in their cages.
