Noises

[Guineapiglet123]

So I just got my Guinea Pig yesterday and I just started handling her today she is really sweet but she makes high squeaks and walks around my bed and sometimes climbs on me. When I go to take her out of the cage she kinda runs but eventually stops so I let her then pick her up and hold her. While she is out and running on the bed she'll let me pet her and hold her but she was sniffing my finger she licked it then kinda nibbled I didn't know if she was happy or not so I put back in the cage. Any advice I really wanna bound with her.

Welcome to the forum!

Have you just got the one piggy? They need companionship so I'd certainly advise to look for a friend for her, either another sow or a neutered boar Not only does it improve your piggies quality of life, it helps her feel more secure and she'll bond with you better if she feels safe.

The licking and nibble is a piggy kiss, congrats! Sometimes it's because you have something tasty on your hands too I find when my piggies just nibble it means they want to go back to their cage, usually because they need to wee and they don't wanna go on me

Hi and welcome

Please consider getting her a same sex companion. Guinea pigs are not wired to live on their own and they really require 24/7/365 Company of their own kind. In Switzerland, it is already forbidden by law to Keep single Guinea pigs for that reason. For you, it is much more fun to watch the vocal, lively interaction than just having one Guinea pig that is totally dependent on your Company for the next 5-7 years, whether you have other plans and time.
Companionship

You may find our new owners' guides helpful, they have guides on how you can communicate with your Guinea pig by using their Body language and how to Interpret their Body language and instincts. The link contains several guides on Guinea pig behaviour and interaction. Interpreting the squeaks is not easy as they often Sound very similar to us, but can have very different meanings due to the situational context and Body language. Babies can be very vocal and dramatic.
