biting

[wheresmymocha]

whenever i’m playing with my friend’s guinea pig and scratch her butt, she would purr but then try to bite me after. what would be the cause of her acting like this?

Most guinea pigs don't like being stroked or touched on their bum/lower back

The piggie purr is a gentle way of saying, ‘I don’t really like that,’ the nip is because you didn’t understand the gentle version. Stick to head strokes and maybe under the chin or cheeks and you’ll be much more popular
