My smalled guinea pig sometimes starts squealing really loudly. Its like a bird squark.

I've tried to pin it down to circumstances but it seems random. The first time he did it was within the first few days of us buying them, he was just stood in the doorway of his house and suddenly started squarking really loudly.

The second time I heard it, I was holding his friend and he was in the cage alone. I put it down to him calling for his friend (it stopped when I put his friend back in and he seemed to rush over and check he was ok!)

The 3rd time was last night, he was earching his empty salad bowl and then suddenly started screaming.

What is it? pain? anxiety? attention?
 
Aww! i wouldnt worry too much, mine do this lots! Dermot goes mental if you leave him on his own in the cage and get Alice out! They also do it at dinner time and when i hoover! :))
 
I agree. I wouldn't worry about it too much. They squeak changes if they are in pain, mostly its normal. Mine used to squeak when they heard the bags in the bottom of the fridge rattling, ie. they were getting feed, or if they hear the treat box rattling. :D
 
Hi, My little pigs squeal loudly sometimes when it is feeding time. It usually means "hurry up I want my food". I wouldn't worry too much.
 
Usually means they want attention from the circumstances you describe. My younger one does it if he wants food, if his friend is out of range or if I've been stroking him and then stop (extremely demanding!). The older one is a bit quieter! x
 
My piggies do it when they are on their own, or when they are seperated. Like when my Dad picks one up for a cuddle the other runs around shouting :)) I think they are just very fond of each other lol :)
 
haha i think its very sweet ... my ruby does it when i get bailey out ... its sweet ! bailey will do it but ruby is so loud lol
