Happy guinea pig noises

Показать описание
When the guinea pigs are feeling happy they run around making soft chirping noises and talking to themselves. Sometimes they sound like little chickens! This leads to some excited rumblestrutting or even some popcorning. Then of course there is the happiest time of all - food! The chirps escalate to the loud sounds of wheeking, squeaking, and squealing. And often some whistling too. Guinea pigs can be surprisingly noisy for a small pet!

WHAT’S PIGS?

We publish daily highlights of the adorable antics of our guinea pig herd. Subscribe to see what they do tomorrow!

In June 2019 we adopted five pigs from Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue. They are cute herbivorous pets with funny social interactions. We film all their behaviors, from cute guinea pig noises to eating sounds, playing with their food to sleeping with their eyes open, and occasional fighting. So far they have been most popular for their loud wheeking and rumblestrutting and their ridiculous guinea pig fights!

Our videos generally have no talking so they're great in any language, whether you search for guinea pigs as cobayos, conejillos de indias, cochons d'Inde, meerschweinchen, morče, marsvin, cavia, marsu, tengerimalac, marmot, porcellino d'India, cobaia, gine domuzu, chuột bạch, świnka morska, морская свинка, خوکچه هندی ,خنزير غينيا, 豚鼠, モルモット, 기니피그, or หนูตะเภา!

MEET THE PIG FAMILY

Spaghett is the boar of the herd. The rest of the pigs are females, but he’s a neutered male so they won’t be breeding. Sorry, no pregnant or baby guinea pigs! Spaghett has orange-brown ginger fur with a white crest on his head and red eyes that are pretty cute. He goes on funny romps with entertaining popcorning and zoomies. He does a hilarious rumblestrutting dance for the ladies while purring. When pigs argue he trots over to comfort them. He likes burrowing through hay and standing on his back feet like a goofy dinosaur. He enjoys petting, especially scratching behind the ears.

Acorn is the youngest. She has white, black, and gold fur with a cute mousy face. She’s inquisitive, always wants food, and talks to herself while exploring hay piles. Little Acorn’s special talent is jumping on houses for rooftop adventures.

Butternut appears either confused or deep in thought. She has white and gold fur. Her hobbies include sleeping and yawning while flopped over with her feet sprawled out. She continues wheeking, squeaking, and squealing at us after we have already given her food.

Pumpkin has black fur except for white back toes. She looks like a cow, a non-guinea pig, and a rabbit. She has noisy standoffs with Acorn when Acorn gets feisty.

Zucchin is the oldest and grumpiest. She has white and gray fur with cute red eyes. At first Zucchin fought with Spaghett. There were teeth chattering, nose raising, and hair puffing battles. Now they get along, but Zucchin is still a grouch. She enjoys lunging at anyone who comes near. She loves to chase other pigs out of their homes, then follow them to another home and chase them out of that one too. But she looks like a cute rat!

THEIR HOME

The pigs live in a custom 4 by 6 foot cage made by merging 3 Midwest Guinea Habitat cages. We cut the seams of the cage bottoms and joined them into one large cage liner. Now we have a MidWest cage of triple the size! The cage is on cheap folding tables so we can easily interact with the pigs. They first lived in the 3 cages connected by ramps with DIY ramp covers we made by sewing blankets.

The bedding is soft paper bedding from Small Pet Select. We spot clean wet spots daily and do a full cage clean when the bedding starts to smell funky. They used to live on fleece blankets with towels and newspaper underneath. Back then we washed guinea pig fleece by hand in the sink. But since moving to a new apartment guinea pig laundry is less convenient so we switched to bedding. We also considered pine bedding but thought soft paper sounded more comfortable for their little feet!

The pigs prefer free stuff to actual guinea pig toys. They love to hide under packing paper. A DIY guinea pig house made from a cardboard box is a favorite hidey. They are not interested in most chew toys.

THEIR DIET

Their favorite hay is 3rd cutting timothy hay from Small Pet Select. They nibble hay cubes. But they get most excited about fresh grass. They also gobble up Sherwood Pet Health guinea pig pellets.

They eat nearly any vegetable. The only thing rejected so far was zucchini. Their favorites are dandelion leaves, fennel, cilantro, parsley, banana leaves, kale, collard greens, kohlrabi, carrot tops and roots, beets, bell peppers, corn with the husk, cucumbers, and pumpkin. They go wild for homemade wheatgrass sprouts.

Their water bottle is a 26 ounce Living World Eco+ glass bottle. They drink it all in a day.

This video really helped me bc I am new to the guinea pig world and didn’t know if the noises they were making were good or bad. Fortunately they were making all of these happy noises! It feels great knowing that I’m doing my job well of taking care of them😊

I love how they know that the hand is connected to food. And the wheeking is always adorable.

After three years with my guinea pigs I still get surprised (and impressed) by the sounds they can produce :D

My baby Guinea Tilly is so skittish but so vocal. When I need her to come out and eat I turn this on and she starts talking and comes running out and then she starts eating and playing. I love it!!! (she does have her sister Hazel with her)

I just got my very first guinea pigs yesterday and they've been squeaking quite a lot already! I wanted to look up to make sure that they really are happy and these guys sound exactly how mine do so I'm relieved they've taken to their new home so quickly.
