Sudden increase in wheeks

[KGLeslie]

We've had our two girls for nearly a year now. They've obviously learned the sound of the fridge and how to beg for extra food, so we're used to those manipulative wheeks.

But in the past week or so, the quieter of the sows has started incredibly loud wheeking (you can hear her from upstairs) even when there's plenty of food still available. When I've gone to check, it's usually when the other has gone upstairs (she's often just napping, oblivious), and the wheeking sow is just shouting at nothing in particular. I don't know what to make of it.

Aww it sounds like she’s lost her friend and is feeling lonely and calling for them.

Is her weight stable? No other issues?

She seems ok. I do wonder if it's that, we've heard her do it if she's having floor time and we've got the other up for a cuddle. So sweet.

Guinea pigs do like to know where their companions are and so wheeking loudly can be ‘ I’m here, where are you ‘
It’s lovely that she’s found her voice
