You will want to check each guinea pigs for any bite mark or scratches. I am not an expert but if you have 2 boys and one girl or multiple no yt s they may fight. Girls do fight so keep a close eye on them anyway.

It may be a gentle nip to put them in their place. Squealing is part of submissive behaviour. Have a read of the threads below.
