purring

Most of the time When I pet my guinea pig, she will shake her hips and purr while walking slowly. Usually when I'm petting her bum. She looks like shes enjoying it when I pet her. I just dont know what it means exactly. My other 2 guinea pigs dont do that. My other guinea pig will purr and sink...

Can anyone share an accurate video of a guinea purring? I‘ve searched high and low but all the clips I’ve seen have been of owners mistaking purring for rumbling. My two are very vocal and I want to be able to distinguish between purring and general chatter/exploring chirps 😊

Recently rescued two sows roughly the same age and have been bonded since January at a rescue, I brought them home on Saturday and I can sometimes hear them purring at eachother or sometimes when they walk past eachother or touch eachother they dart away, I’m just wondering if they’re not...

Hiya! I noticed that every time I have lap-time with S'mores, she'll sit on my lap for about one minute while I pet her, and then scramble up my shirt and onto my shoulder. She burrows into my hair. She will nip the back of my neck, although she rarely does that and usually just moves around...

... So I bathed my piggies and straight after I bundled them up in warm towels to dry them off. I had Percy on my knee for a wee cuddle and was rubbing him all over to get him dried, and he... PURRED! Proper purred! It was actually the best thing ever. It's my mission to get him to purr again...
