does my piggy think he is a dog? bitting

[the4ks]

:smitten:I have got a male guniea pig from the pet store and then adopted a friend from rescue. Peanut has recently been acting like a dog. He stands up and begs for food. doesn't squeal much and now when I walk around with him he will bite at my shirt like a dog with a toy.He has nothing to be frightend about no noise or other females.He just bites the cloth and pulls on it .I don't know if he is playing or being aggressive with me? I just have the two boys. They seem to get along great. I followed your advice with introducing them. I play with them every day. Can you help? Should I be worried. :-\

Hiya,

It's normal. Sunshine my aby will beg for food and my other boar Cuzzy will nip at my clothes when I am reaching for his food bowl or if he is sitting on my knee, it's natural for them to be like that.

My boars always used to do that when they needed to pee.

Nibbles nips at clothing when he wants to be put down.

Thank you for youre replies. I feel much better now. It mainly happens when I walk around with him I guess I should sit more with him. My husband says I need a piggy t-shirt. I am learning more every day about these little guys.
