My guinea pigs often make strange noises which I assume is from their tummies. It is only Perky and Pecan that makes the noises, but is it normal? I've never heard my other pigs make the same noise!
 
Depending on what they've been fed piggies can be a bit gassy and you can hear bowel wind moving and even a right trump or two. However gassy piggies are not a good idea as they can become bloated and bloat can be very dangerous for them. Have your piggies been eating a lot of wet veg or broccoli/cauliflower/sprouts?
 
Everyone's daily diet is cucumber, bell pepper, spring greens, carrot & half a fenugreek crunchie. They usually have a pinch of treats mixed in with their dry food, too.
 
When you say "pinch of treats" what is that exactly?
 
A pinch of these: But they had rumbly tummies before they were eating these and were on the same diet. Maybe it's just hunger? They do drink an awful lot, too.
 
It won't seem to let me post. It's "
