When I hold and stroke my new guinea pig she makes a very quiet almost squeaky sound when i touch her that sometimes is accompanied by a purr here and there if i pet her in a certain spot. Her eyes seem very mellow and start to close like she is going to sleep or it just very relaxed so I know this isn't a scared sound but is it a happy sound? Is she liking being in my lap and having me pet her? Or does this sound mean something else?
What does this Guinea pig sound mean?

See if you can recognise the sounds your Guinea Pig makes from these:

The purring sound is a sound of contentment. You have a very happy piggy!

my rex does the happy sound, I originally thought she was uncomfortable with me and being handled but I found out that she is just telling me all about her day and is a happy little girl. The only other pig that makes a lot of noise is fudge who almost screams with disgust of being held, I know I am not hurting her or that she is in distress, she is just a spoilt little madam

Fudge is my short haired, called her that due to her being milk choc coloured, with white and a flash of ginger on her cheek and reminded me of the fudge bar. My rex is a dark eyed white called crystal as she has the most beautiful blue/purple coloured eyes, which crystals often have beautiful veins of colours through them.
Sounds like a happy piggy to me!

Oh yes....that's the same as a purrrrrrrrring cat. The kicker for me is when I rustle a bag for any reason and they do the insane hunger sound..I have to make sure I don't move any bags around them. By the way I have to male PURPLE tinted Peruvian Guinea Pigs. How common is that?
