Hi all

My guinea is 6 years old. His brother passed away around Christmas time aged 5.5.

Rio is fed every night at 5pm. When I get home from work and go into the kitchen he is waiting in the same place and squeaks loudly. If I'm somewhere else in the house he will let me know it's almost 5pm!

The last few days ive been home working and he has squeaked at random times in the day in the same way he would do at 5pm. Ive fed him a small amount of food and he's gobbled it up only to squeak for more later!

I don't want to over feed him but he's always had a good appetite and he eats a varied diet from tomatoes to strawberries to blueberries to kale. I try to give 5 different types a day and he's always got plenty of fresh hay.

Do I try to ignore him? He's 6 so I am very much spoiling him. He shows no signs of tiredness or being slow and just loves living inside and having us round him.

Thanks x
 
lol - I'm one of those who gave in..... I keep coriander sprigs on stand-by for such occasions :)
 
Aww bless him! It could be just wheeking for attention in general. He knows when he wheeks you come to him. I'd say if he can hear you're around at home he's just shouting 'come and give me all your attention!' :P
 
I think next time he does it I might just cuddle him instead! He's so funny because if I put a few blueberries down as a snack he continues squeaking because he wants lettuce! He knows how to get what he wants!
