Spike chirping today (video). Do we yet know why?

[Hannah_xx]

Hi guys!

So Spike started chirping this morning , for a good few minutes. I’ve only heard my heard one my guinea pigs about 15 years ago chirping. And I know then no one knew why piggies sometimes did this. Is that still the case?
I was worried in case something was up so I got him out for a quick cuddle (when I shouldn’t have been out the door on the way to work .. in fact I was still in my pjs.. oops lol! ). I also offered him veg which he didn’t want! Not like spike so then I was super worried!
But as soon as I put him back in the cage he seemed to come back down to earth and munched on the green bean like the greedy little piggie he is!

Lucky you to have a chirping piggy!

Well I just played your video and even though I had the sound down quite low, Ollie and Tallullah instantly went on high alert and left their hay eating and ran around looking nervous and vigilant for 5 minutes!
So I think it definitely means something intended to alert the other pigwigs...

Same! I had a pig bolt under cover, one alert Pumpkin, and a completely indifferent Meg. Two out of four on high alert, but only for about 10 seconds. Meg's a chirper though, so they're all used to it.
