We have had our piggys for 4 months now and starting to handle them more often, Bear more than Teddy as he clearly doesn't like it 😔 anyway I noticed today when picking Bear up to place him on my daughters lap he squeaked a couple of times, he was fine when sat. I checked him over and can't see anything obvious. Should I be worried?
 
It may just be because he is scared. From what you have said it doesn't sound like anything to worry about. If you are very concerned keep an eye on him for a several days but I am sure he will be fine. Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply. I'm going to keep an eye on him, I think he is OK tho. They do make you worry sometimes 🙄
 
It will more than likely be because he felt scared but confident enough to tell you that he did.

Just keep an eye for any squeals in cage when toileting etc... but to think this was a ‘I don’t like being picked up’ yell

Thank you. Both times it happen was when he was being lifted, he was happy on the cushion. I will keep an eye on him
 
Yeah sound like it then. You could catch him in a cosy for lap time perhaps help take The stress of being picked up out
