Adult Guinea Pig
Not sure what is going on with my piggy Sparky, he is a very noisy in your face piggy who loves attention and cuddles. A few nights ago he became quite distressed and noisy in the wee small hours starting off with wheeking and yelling and reducing to a unhappy chunter once he had been cuddled. He also took to swinging the ball that I put treats in, that hangs from his cage roof of the bars of his cage thus. This happened on a night when I was having a rough night and hadn't been too well for a couple of days.
Now he's taken to squawking his head off around 4am and has his cage is right next to my bedroom door (and pretty impossible to move) he usually wakes me up, he quickly settles and curls up and nods off once he's picked up and cuddled. I don't know what is behind his behaviour whether he has picked up that I was unwell or what, I know that he and his cage mate are not getting along as well as they used to but, there is not evidence that they have been fighting.
Any ideas? I am not bothered if he wakes me at 4am wanting attention, its my job, as his mummy to be there for him 24/7
