Can Guinea Pigs....

[Crystella]

Can guinea pigs have the hiccups?
I've noticed one of my girls sometimes seems to have the hiccups but I'm not sure if its as harmless as that or if its something I should take more seriously. Can anyone help me out?

Yes they can get whats called heaving hiccups and I think normal hiccups too. It soon passes but can look worrying if you have not come across it before.

Mine had the hiccups earlier in the year. I remember being concerned and googling it.
